im also wondering if the altitude change is going to wreak havoc on my breathing or not as well.

ahhh, the Rockies it aint, pal
I wouldn't sweat the altitude changes too much. I don't think we have anywhere in NJ that gets above 3000 ft. It's the climbing that'll do ya in, in general. We're all used to the rolling terrain around here. We never have to do sustained climbing, and that's where it'll bite us in the pooper. Anyway, I'm still thinking of doing the two intermediate rides, unless I get convinced to do the Advanced level ride. I think two Intermediates would chalk up some solid mileage and elevation change. I LIKE LONG SUSTAINED CLIMBING!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!

when did your yellow turner turn mango?
rain stopped
rain is percolating
clouds are dissipating
breeze is dehydrating
slippy rides, nah... just sketchy. you'll love it.
see you there
group rides are "no drop"
that doesn't mean you wont get funny stare if folks are waiting 10 minutes at the next turn... i know they stare at me like that.
seriously, if you ride once or twice a week and can handle techy terrain you should be ok. just talk to the ride leaders and be honest with them and yourself. there are a lot of scheduled rides, you all will fit in somewhere!
I was thinking of doing both intermediate rides, basically just to ride easy and chit chat with people.
then i packed my truck full of skinnys and other gear.
i have no room for my bike
i think i'll just leave my bike at home, and demo something.
actually, after this Young's Double Chocolate Stout, I'm really thinking a beginner ride is best for me.

I gotta find a better beer store down here.
The best I got tonight is a Hacker-Pschorr Original Oktoberfest, which is a good beer, but is no Banana Bread or Double Chocolate Stout.

I'm pretty suprised...Monmouth County usually has everything covered
