GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

ON SATURDAY, 10.14, WE ARE RIDING THE SURF N SUMMIT. It's not too late for you to join us. In redoing the routes, I noticed some really good news...

... it's less than 100 miles.

I mean anybody can do that, right?

Just eat enough.

Well....

50% of it is off-road,
some it single track.

And...

There is some climbing,
4600' on the first 38 miles,
and a mere 9000', after that.

Don't forget...

It's gonna be hottish,
in the 80s,
no shade.

Bottom line is, we've attempted this twice and been foiled each time due to insane weather.

How have I prepared?

Lots of Zone 2 miles.

What will I eat?

Honey Stinger Waffles and Costco Crepes.

What will I drink?

Carborocket 'till I run out, then Gatorade.

Any other nutrition?

I love Salt Tabs.
Whatever I can score at a minimart.

Gear?

Lights for the 530am start, hopefully not needed for the finish.
Bug netting for my helmet.
KOM jacket.

Who's going?

The few, the brave, the nutty.

Who's finishing?

All of us...

... it's only 98 miles.
