Little Red Riding Hood in Utah

[bikerHen]

Fast or slow, I'm really looking foward to this ride as well. I can't wait to meet everyone and enjoy a day of bicyling fun. I'm going to be staying in Logan, UT. Where did you make your reservations? BikerHen

I'm in Brigham City at the crystal inn; for some reason the internet room rate was less expensive than for the same room at the crystal inn up in Logan?? Its not so far from Logan that I can't meet everyone for dinner or something

There was also a really beautiful resort actually in Wellsville but it was a little too expensive ... but I've got to admit... the idea of a spa on-site for a post ride massage sounded really great there for a minute

I'm sure there will be some sort of pre-ride dinner; I can't wait!! How much riding are you doing now? I'm trying to put together a plan with a reasonable 'ramp up' ... basically it will be a 90 day plan... any infinate wisdom will be greatly appreciated!

Hey Tracy look forward to meeting you at LRRH. As far as training goes ...hmm well for me its just trying to get out as often as I can and increasing the distance little by little on my longest ride each week.

Good to know Bikerhen and I have another rider to mosey along with.

[cindysue]

check it out.

[Trekhawk]

check it out.

I love it.

Trekhawk,

I look forward to meeting you too! I think you are up near where my sister has a house; I am SO jealous! Its beautiful there! How many times each week do you usually get out to ride? I have a standing hike each week but I should be able to ride 2 - 4 times a week. I've also signed up for a couple of rides between now and then to keep me motivated!

Whoooo Hoooo!

Tracy, you may need to change your username. Somehow tprevost just isn't fitting in with the flock of birds that seems to be congregating. Hens and hawks together. Will there be mayhem????????

I try to get out at least three times a week (one of these is MTB with a friend), sometimes I manage four but other times it might only be two. I have three kids and a husband with a bizarre schedule so planning is something that seems to happen day to day.

Im signed up for a couple of rides before LRRH too so hopefully this will help add some distance and as you said keep the motivation level up.

Happy riding.

I checked out the web site for the day spa as well. Nice, but like you said expensive. I'll just have to settle for the hot tub back at my hotel.

I don't know if the ride sponsors are having a pre-ride dinner but that doesn't mean we can't plan one for ourselves. I don't know who all is staying in the area the night before, but we should definitely plan to get together - so we can plan our ride strategy.

As for training, right now I'm spending time on my trainer everyday and trying to get out on the road once or twice a week. Road riding is cold and kinda messy right now so I'm on my mtb for those rides which is probably good training for me. I have a 33 mile route that I'm doing once a week now, and have a 50 mile route that I hope to work up to by April. There is one organized ride in the area the end of April. I'm going to do the 50 mile ride, and it has some major climbing.
So basically I'm just going for miles, miles, miles on the bike.

And . . . My reservation are made and the entry form mailed so I am good to go! BikerHen
Oh! Don't worry about a name change. Any and all are welcome at the back of the pack.

Im booked in for the two nights at the Crystal Inn Logan. I think dinner together the night before for all in the area would be a great idea. Maybe after the ride we can all share a drink or two.
