I did it last year - fun race, but get ready to draft in the peloton.  That will make the ride MUCH easier.  I was doing 24 mph last year - sitting up and talking away.  Watch out for some RR tracks in Oshkosh area - i lost a few bottles there.  Also, watch out for the tracks at mile 40, they took out a few tires.  Otherwise just enjoy!

 

I M out this year, but would love to do it again.  really a good time IMHO

I think I'd be scared witless in a peloton.  Us triathletes don't do pelotons. :P

That is the part that scares me the most but I really need the competitive 90 mile ride for training.  I will just go at my pace.

Pelotons are not bad - just dont be in aero - they get mad , AND really watch the corners - they can be tight!!

I'ma do it. I have nowhere near the endurance necessary so I'm gonna snuggle up with some of those 200-lb riders for a nice draft.
