LOTOJA TRAINING RIDE #10 – HOW MANY DAYS IS THAT?

WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET OUT AND SURF?

Soon man, I just have one more event on the calendar.

What is it?  It’s this retarded race from Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY.

How far is that?  204 miles.

How many days?

2 weeks.

To go 200 miles?

No the race is in 2 weeks, we do all 204 in one day.

That is retarded.

The anticipation is killing me now.  Wondering… will my body hold up?  This is 70 miles further than I’ve ever ridden before.  Racing.  Helmets on.  Cleats locked in.  No rest stops.  No ice cream breaks.  Racing.  I know my body, and I know unanticipated problems can show up over a long day of riding.

Here’s to all of us riding smart, safe, and mechanical free…

… and getting a little more balance in our lives…

… like riding with the kids …

… and more lazy rides like this …
