Advice/Encouragement?

[Starfish]

Sorry to hear about the weather though. And good luck with your ride. which ride??

Thanks, SmilingCat. I was hoping to get in a good 10 hours of riding tomorrow, but the trainer does give me an idea. If I head up the mountain and can only go part way, I could do 1/2 the workout outside, and come home and do some more on the trainer.

The ride is the Shasta Summit Century at Mt. Shasta, northern California. I'm excited and scared...I have never climbed 10,000 feet before. That's one reason why I wanted to get in my long ride tomorrow. I was shooting for that 10,000 foot mark, including the training at elevation.

Edited to thank Silver & Sara...you are right, I have to get out there!
