Are you ready?

It's the question everyone asks when I mention the Terrible Two this Saturday. What always fires off in my head immediately is "Of course not!" I don't think I'll ever feel truly ready for it. I could always grind up more steep pitches and eat less donuts. I think the feeling comes from the respect for the magnitude of the ride, the length, the climbs, the descents... Respect that keeps me humble, but ready to go.
