However, I'm also a bit relieved that I'm not doing the race because the drive would have been about 28 hours. I spent 14 hours total in the car last weekend for Ore to Shore and am looking forward to a car-less weekend. Plus I raced the last 2 weekends, I guess I can take a weekend off :-)
The drive isn't the main reason why I'm not doing the race though. My coach has been looking over my training/power logs from the last couple of months and noticed that we need to make a few changes to how I schedule my races. I've been racing/recovering so much that I haven't gotten any solid training blocks in for months. And I miss training really hard. So that's what I'll be doing for the next couple of weeks. That being said, I'm still going to be doing some racing. But they will probably be closer to home and races that I can train straight through.
And speaking of training, it's time to go get a 4 hour ride in right now....
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!!!!

No Pando - Bummer
Was hoping to watch at photo you again.
No Fool's Gold for me either. I'm probably going to miss SM100 too. I'm hoping that ending this season early will give me enough recovery time to race again next year.
It's going to be pretty hot this weekend, I may skip any races and just get out for long rides early in the mornings.
You should have stayed on this side of the lake. Dairyland Dare is Saturday. Note the ride profile at the bottom.
4 hours of training?
I like to sleep for 4 hours!
Have fun.
2010!!! I will give you number 6 if you come race :)
