I like all your answers better than .... Did Not Finish. Especially "Dally Nonchalantly in Fremont"Originally Posted by ace
Hey Trek,
What's "DNF?" Dive nose first? Dally nonchalantly in Fremont? I guessed "do not fail," but that would mean your plan is never to not fail, which means you always plan to fail (feel free to smack me)
Confusedly,
Amy
But, leave yourself the option or surprising yourself.
Speaking of dallying....I'd better move, Knott got bumped up to an earlier flight.

ahh... hmmm... lemon drop hill? another hill before that??
length, vertical feet, grade?? I haven't really ridden in like 6 years or so and all I have logged so far is measly 300 miles or so. And maybe 10-15- maybe 20 hours on my trainer. 6 years ago, I passed on easy ride but I'm 6 years older, 6 years of sedentary life. It's not coming back as well as I would like.
am a bit nervous. PLan to do a 40 mile ride with about 1,500 ft climb this weekend back to back (one Sat. and one on Sun.) Still fretting about DNFing. Bit embarrassed if I DNF or dump the ride.
Strong head wind toward the finish? yuck. cold? doubly yuck.
Well instead of whining I guess I'll just have to DO IT!!
Sheesh another thing to worry about. I think I'll wear my long tights instead of shorts. bring a set of leg warmer and arm warmers... I don't have a riding mitt just riding gloves. riding jacket... A dry towel in my car. A thermos with hot cocoa in my car.
with much trepidation,

Don't feel bad gals. I've only logged about 100 miles in 2 1/2 months. That means I have not been riding. Albeit I have 20 years of cycling under my belt, but I will be suffering nonetheless.
Thankfully, the Cindy is a pretty easy ride. Truthfully, it really is not hard.
Come along and see what you can do. It is all about the challenge
