25's v 50s

["Dyane Smith" <sunibey@sisqtel.net>]

Thanks, Karen.  So far everyone who has responded has been in agreement
about this.  Ideally, I'd like to start out with a 12 hr. 50 (maybe 11:30 to
be on the safe side).  Hopefully, I can find another one or two riders who
also want to start ten minutes after the group and time their ride to take
most of the allotted time.
