More recon and a review
05-08-2012, 20:03 health, leadville, sports PermalinkTook a little trip today to the middle of the LT100 race course. This was the only part I hadn't yet seen, and is the easiest part of the course. Took a little doing to figure out a little bit of it, but we've got it now. There's still one tiny part I haven't ridden, but I'll get it later this week. I am glad to have seen most of this middle part, though, because it does give me a little faith that I can get this done.
Now for a bit of reflection. This is a fairly interesting summary:
That's a pretty good 30 days on the mountain bike. How about my total cycling in the last year?
Holy crap on a cracker! 3,000 miles on a bicycle? Wow, I am broken or something. I sure did enjoy a lot of it, I know that. And most importantly, I think it's prepared me well. I have the best coach in the world to blame for much of this...Sage Rountree. But I also have the best family in the entire world who would let me leave the house for a lot more than that 290 hours it took me to get the riding in. See, it's not like all 290 hours or even most of it was near home...a lot of it required trips or driving to Raleigh or just working on bikes. But they've helped me pursue this bucket list kind of dream of this crazy huge race in Leadville, and for that I am eternally grateful. In just a few more days they'll be here to join me, and I can't wait!
