Count down to the 12 hour.

I'm doing my first solo 12 hour race this weekend. It's a road race and you have to complete a 112 mile loop to get an official finish. That loop entails about 10 000 feet of climbing. Then you do repeats of a 27 mile loop until you run out of time.

I did this race last year as a 2 women team (with Sproket's Mom). And we kicked it. 185 miles I think.

I'm excited and a bit nervous. My longest solo ride to date is 120 miles. I'll clear that and then some as long as nothing goes wrong.

It'll be interesting, that's for sure.

Thanks for listening. Typing this out helps to ease the jitters a bit.

Whatever ride you do this weekend, have fun and bask in the glory that we are able to ride.

Wow, that sounds fabulous. Go kick some azz!

Wahine- When you get a chance either before or after the weekend please give us the route and the 27 mile repeat.

10,000 feet of climbing in a 110 mile race sounds daunting to me.

Good luck! Hope you get good weather too.

It sounds like an amazing goal.
Good luck!

I concur...I am in total awe!
Good luck--but I am sure you will kick butt!

Kick some booty! I'll be doing a 24-hour solo road race, but very little elevation gain on each 12-mile lap. TONS of traffic and pedestrians, but no mountains.

That just sounds intense! Good luck and be safe
