Can't Un-Read It

So I was poking around on the Seattle-to-Portland Ride website today looking for specifics on a few things, when I stumbled across an article entitled, "Suggested Mileage: Group Health STP 2008 Training for One or Two-Day Riders." My first reaction was just to laugh and wish I hadn't seen it. Now I'm wondering what the hell I've gotten myself into?

This article suggests a pretty regimented training plan for riders who hope not to die during the 200+ miles from Seattle to Portland. Needless to say, I'm a little late to the game and my training consisted of occasionally biking to Tiny's for coffee and vegan coffee cake. I'm seriously wondering if I can do this ride. I mean, I'm going to ride and I'm going to give it my all, but will I end up finishing under my own strength? Or in the back of an ambulance?

He he, you poor thing! Just give it your best shot and then next year you'll know what to expect.

Don't forget to lube up your groin area, we certainly don't want any friction down there. And for god's sake, don't wear your leopard print thong.
