600k Ride Report, In Reverse!

[aka_kim]

Nanci, you are amazing, inspiring, and ... I need to find a thesarus for more superlatives! Thank you for sharing your most excellent adventure.

I read from the bottom up :-) And you're goin' to work tomorrow :-) :-)(Which is one of the things I like about cycling - the recovery is so much faster than other exertions! What else could you do for 27 hours and get up the next day and keep going!

My next ride is TOSRV South, April 22 and 23- 100 miles each day. I was talking to a guy today, though, who's done it several times. He says "Don't think of it as two 100 mile rides, think of it as six 35 mile rides with a gourmet meal in between each one!" Sounds great, huh?

This is where I will be trying out the ultralight tent for the first time.

Then two weeks after that, 3 State 3 Mountain! I can't wait. I even ordered the ride jersey for that one- my first!

I did my recovery ride today, though I really felt ok yesterday, and pretty ok Thursday. 36 miles in STRONG wind. I didn't complain. I feel like I can handle anything for a few hours, now- as long as I don't have to be out in it for 37 hours!

Yes, those are the Sidi Rampas. I love them. I have the road version, too, which are just as comfy, but I don't really get along with road shoes, I guess.

I tried the road shoe thing. People probably laugh at me in my mountain shoes on a road bike, but they would laugh harder if they saw me fall on my rear (which is what I did *every time* I tried to walk in road shoes...) Heck - they probably laugh anyway at me trying to haul my slow rear end up hills.

Who cares?! They work for me

Fantastic!! what a great report! you should be so proud of how far you've come - literally and figuratively. from your first centuries last your to 600k now... inspiring.

I think I was one of the "someones" who was nagging you for your report - and it was totally worth it!!! I would love to see a specific list of what you bring with you. I am still waiting to see a route (not to mention a weather report) before I make my decision.

Refreshingly mindboggling.

Fantastic job!

So are you thinking about the 1200? You could do it!
