A friend tried to convince me to do this year- with a week's notice. Ha! Still thinking about next year though. Would you say that hard core spin classes are a decent platform for this? Obviously not equal, but..

Great job on the ride and on the video. It's not easy to ride and film at the same time. Thanks for documenting this great ride.

Am I really going to try this in 2010, at age 62? Hmmmm........
Thanks for the terrific - and I think inspiring - video. ;-)

Go for it now. I think they have another sign up on 1/7. Enough time to train. If you wait for next year, you will be a year older. You could strap a flashlight to your bars and start 1-2 hours early. Go slow, take short breaks and most of all, enjoy the ride. Good Luck!
