That's a great plan - start with the super do-able doubles like you are. Maybe even give something like Bass Lake a try in the Fall. But get those beginner ones under your belt so you know you can do the miles.
Death Ride is a great ride. Regardless of where you are in your training, just make a note to yourself to submit a lottery registration in February. Put it on your calendar now! ;)
I forget - you're doing Davis, right?
I will definitely remember to submit a lottery registration!
I'm not doing Davis, just Solvang and then Eastern Sierra. Then it's a long, slow ride across the country crewing for a RAAM team. Anyone wanna join me? Please? Seriously! We're looking for three more crew members so if anyone knows anyone. <~~~can you tell we're getting desperate with the clock ticking here? :eek:
If I weren't coaching this Death Ride team, I'd consider helping crew. But all my "free" time has been sucked up. Crewing should be EPIC.
I think you deserve a red polka dot jersey :D
Way to go and with a head cold oui vey!!
I think you are getting hooked on hill climb.
Ughhh... the palomar climb. really wonderful vistas too though. And you have to send a post card from the post office on palomar mtn.
Death ride is fun. You might want to try the 150mile Climb the Kaiser pass. Its sponsored by Fresno club. and rides out of Clovis. Eastern Sierra is really pretty too. Some people who do the kaiser pass poo-poos the death ride. This you should use a triple. There is a 1/2 mile section with 15% grade
If you can do the breathless in agony, you should do the ride around the bear. It also starts out of sylvan park then it too goes by Onyx summit. A fun ride.
well I'm bit envious on your fun ride
