I'm going to try as hard as I can, and put as much into this as I can, fully open to the possibility that I'll do terribly anyway. But I'm going to have fun no matter what. Awesome! That’s my goal.

Should be interesting. I'm actually pretty similar though my wheels are only 28mm and being in Florida I think I would die in wool. I'm aiming more towards cyclocross than road racing though. Never liked the attitudes in road racing. Love riding my cross bike with road slicks but for social purposes I get along with the mountain bikers better. Added you to my RSS reader.

I won just by entering the race and finishing. The one thing I learned from it is that I should race against riders in my own age group, I felt a little stupid riding with Cat 5 20 somethings, next time it will be 45+ group and there will be a next time. Just do it ! I had a blast. At 48 years old I did my first Cat 5, got lapped 4 times maybe 5 and came in third from the last. I won just by entering the race and finishing.
