I'm doing the ride Monday from Providence to Hartford and then Tues from Hartford to Danbury. About 70 miles each day. Piece of cake for able bodied people. 3rd year doing it and I haven't heard 1 able bodied person complain at all. Now if your a vet with emotional or physical challenges it is not so easy but I haven't heard 1 vet complain either. If you're in the area and see about 200 vets and a few slackers, pull over and give the vets a thumbs up-they'll appreciate it. It is very inspiring to see someone paralyzed below the waist hand pedaling up a steep hill. As a world of warning, that same guy in his recumbent will have no fright on the way down the hill and will be going faster than any all the able bodied cyclists.

We got to ride through the sub base in Groton 2 years ago. They had the whole route lined with navy guys clapping. No stopping or pictures where allowed but very cool.
