Meant to say that I did the BBG when I turned 50 and hope to do the 50CC
when I turn 60.

Personally, I think the BBG is tougher than the 50CC. I'm actually
mentioned on the IBA site as a preferred contact for Jacksonville Beach
and I see the number of folks that actually complete the two rides.
The BBG is tougher.
Hopefully I'll get around to trying a BBG in the next year or so. But
I have to congratulate you -- that's a mean one!

Aw shucks. Thanks :)
The thing that worries me about the 50CC is that I will have to sleep for a
few hours and I'm worried that I won't wake up. If I'm worried that I won't
wake up, I won't go to sleep.
I need a cattle prod or something similar to wake me up. Need a set it for
three hours and forget it "clock" (fool proof comes to mind).
Cheers, Joe
