OK leaving on a redye for california tonight, measured my saddle to pedal, saddle to handlebars, packed my pedals, camelback, helmet, brand new wetsuit, etc, renting a bike in CA (was $400 to put in on all the various flights I have), and ready to go for Sunday....scary scary scary 20k.
still undecided on the clothes issue, trisuit (less easy to pee) or shorts and top (which I don't own, yet).
Will race report after.
Thanks everyone for support and encouragement
