Tomorrow I'm racing the Lowell 50. I just signed up for this race a few hours ago and don't know much about it. All I know is that I'll be racing 50 miles on gravel roads and that there will be hot apple cider waiting for me at the end. At least I hope there will be hot apple cider left. I have a sneaking suspicion that everyone will be doing this race on cross bikes. I'm racing on my El Mariachi and will have my work cut out for me. It will be interesting to see how I do because I seem cursed when it comes to gravel road races. Seriously, I usually blow up within 5 minutes and then it all goes down from there. But it's been a while since I've raced one and regardless of how I do, it will be good Iceman training.
The only thing I dread about the race (besides waking up early) is how cold it's going to be at the start. I'm thinking I will be lucky if temps are in the low 30's. I need to just suck it up though because it's only going to get colder from here. In a month I'll be wishing for a 30 degree day.
Race report up this weekend!

Thought I would check out your bolg to see who it was I was riding with today . . . impressive results. Nice job at the Lowell 50. I think we both would have done better if it was the Lowell 100!! Good luck with Iceman.
