Seeing as I've not ridden more than 25km in one go in the last DECADE, why NOT enter a 55km womens' bike event in 5 weeks' time? *SLAPS SELF ON HEAD*
*EDIT: Thanks Celeste - it's in 9 weeks, not 5. It's still a frightfully long way for Mrs Zero-Bike-Base.
Now, let the justification commence!
Doing this ride prevents me from even contemplating my favourite, really fun 10km run the following day, training for which would be far too much strain on my ankle at this stage....good plan!
I get a free bike jersey.....good plan!
I might not die....good plan!
DFL always beats DNSBTFC*
It's early in the morning so it won't be hot and I will be able to lie down all the rest of the day....GOOD PLAN!
After all, what IS life without a stretch goal that makes you faintly ill to contemplate?
Any of you Melbourne girls up for it? The link's in the sidebar. We could bitch together about what a stupid idea it was! There's a 20km too if you're not as much of a lunatic as someone we know
More anon, lanternes rouge!

That rides seems great, nice one.
Just be careful of magpies...especially along Plenty Road towards Whittlesea, a nasty bird just past Gordon's Road hits me every time riding in either direction.
Based on my stats though, every time he has swooped three times, and scored a direct hit twice on each occasion =)
Not only that but there is more than 5 weeks! Closer to 9 weeks by my calculations. Pffftt! Nine weeks is HEAPS of time!
Sounds like fun, well fun for you (not me).
Good luck lbtepa. That's a lot of riding!

Wait a minute... There's an F in there and I need to know what the F stands for. Are we starting some drama, here? :-)
I will be able to lie down all the rest of the day.
I like this reasoning the best! Good luck!
Hell, I like that idea. Can't make it to your one, but might start looking for one here. Without too many hills.
