I am questioning my sanity on having signed up for this one, especially since I'm probably a decade older and 35 lbs heavier than you are now. As part of training preparation, I did ride up and down Mount Diablo twice a couple of weeks ago. At 54 miles and 7400' that's almost half a deathride, and in March already!

Hey, what are friends for!

Just do it. Once. You'll have bragging rights forever.
