You have no idea how much I’d love to participate in this! Thanks for publicizing it! (By the way, Todd, there was a typo in your post for the link to bikeisrael … blogger.com/www.bikeisrael)
Mr. Grena – I’ve love to as well, if I could set aside other things in order to train. Thanks for the link correction; I’ve fixed it now.
I hope there are no doping scandals! Some families will go to all sorts of extremes to win in these non-competitive, just for fun events :)!
