lol! thanx, gals!

i hate that so many good rides are so close together.. then nothing for a few weeks...

i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do all three of these rides.. but i don't want to injure myself

i guess i'll have to play it by ear... i have until saturday to register for next week's century... so i can take the paperwork and if i feel fine after breathless agony... i can send off the paperwork for the route 66 century... i can wait and pay for julian at the ride since it's only $5.00 "late" fee... and better to pay $5.00 more than to lose $39!

that way if i get wiped out after one or two... i'm not committed to the following rides!

i'm am a "tortoise" rider... slower and steady... and i think for breathless agony i'll be even more so cuz it the most i've ever climbed! a few weeks ago i did a 75 miler that was... i think 7000 feet of climbing.. this will add 5000 feet to it in the same amount (since the last 40+ are downhill WHEEEEEEE) i REALLY want to make the 4 passes and make hubby proud (since i'm riding in place of him.. it was originally HIS ride to do.... but he hurt his knee early in the season) i'm still new at centuries and don't have the eating thing down... so i'll probably eat too much! so that's a good thing! i tried to tweak my eating at alpine and ended up not eating enough at the first rest stop... i ate a clif and was fine to the next one.. but can see where it would be an issue!

someone should pass a law that all these fun rides can't be so close together (or others so far away! like little red ridinghood & cinderella!!)
