I started training for the ride last fall with a ride from Honeoye Falls on an old Raleigh.  The bike had been sitting in my in-laws garage for more than 30 years.  The old tires had disintegrated.  I got new tires, new grip, a tune-up.  I also picked up a bike for $50 at a garage sale.

The idea is that if I train on old, heavy bikes, riding the new bike will feel easy.  We'll see.
