    24 hours too!

    Across the country, in an entirely different type of environment, I'm doing a 24-hour solo race too! Mine is an intown alleycat - 4 check points in an approximate 12-mile loop, but it's on open roads, through downtown, route is up to you, and traffic will be a mess. Everyone else's (Wahine and Susan) sound like much more fun!

    I've done ones that start in the morning and finish the next morning. And, I've done brevets that start at midnight. This one is noon to noon, and I'm curious to see how I feel an hour after the sun comes up.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    It's intown, and you can take any route from checkpoint to checkpoint, so depending on traffic, I'll be changing it up.

    And, the 24-hour race I do in February (in Sebring - come and race too!) is on a 3.7-mile loop all night long - this will be wonderful compared to that!

    Wow. Good luck and please be safe.

    I've spoken very sternly to DH about sleep deprivation on the moto, and it's something I feel very strongly about. It's right up there with inebriation and talking on the phone, in terms of impairment. So please, please, please be safe.

    The traffic would bother me but it sounds like a good race. Good luck and let us know how you do. It will be really interesting to hear your report of how you feel in the morning.

    Where in town is this going on? Good luck! I assume the knee is doing better!
    Slow and steady (like a train!)
