24-hours of Adrenalin race today!

[Adventure Girl]

My biggest cycling event of the year starts in less than 4 hours! I'm pretty excited and a little nervous. I'm racing in the 24-hours of Adrenalin mountain bike endurance race in Monterey. I'm on a 5-person coed team (4 guys and me).

The race starts Saturday at noon and ends on Sunday at noon. The course is about 12 miles long. I'm in position 4 and will probably ride 4 or 5 laps – two will be night laps.

The Luna Chix pro team will be competing. Alison Dunlap, Marla Streb, Shonny Vanlandingham and Katerina Hanusova will be racing in the 4-person class (men's division) because there isn’t a 4-person women's class. I sure hope I don't end holding Alison Dunlap up on a tiny single track section!!

We rented a motor home. We set it up at our campgrounds last night and had a pasta feed for my team. (My husband makes fantastic marinara sauce!)

The race starts in 3 hours and 36 minutes…

Way cool AG - I want to hear all about it when you're done. I had a friend do one of these a few years back, he had a blast.

Irulan - you should go for it, just for the "I did it" factor!
