Preparing.

I’m spending the week resting and getting prepared for the Big Bear 24 Hour Race. Properly packing clothing and prepping bicycles for something like this is almost as draining as the training that goes into it. Add to that the possibility of thunderstorms all week prior and also during the event and the plan completely changes. I’m preparing as if it’s going to be an eco-nightmare. The way I look at it, the more terrible it is, the more I’ll remember. Seven Springs was a blur of sunny skies, broken teeth, no mechanicals, and celebration. I’d be foolish to think that this one will go as well.

After visiting the course this past weekend I’m even more excited than I was before, which is pretty unbelievable. I’m ready. I think I’m ready. I could be a little more ready, but I’m ready. I think. Wait…

Let's go.
