At the start of the month our group of 8 got selected for the Leadville 100 mountain bike ride. Or maybe it's a race... in my mind it's a ride. I will be trying to stay ahead of the cutoffs so I can ride the whole course. 100 miles in the mountains sounds like a great day to me.
After getting over the shock of getting selected. I realized I hadn't ridden or worked out in 2 weeks. I need a plan. I need to start riding. Chicago has had record snowfall this winter, and it keeps snowing. No riding outdoors for me. I'll start with the compu-torture matchine.
Basic Plan:
- Lose 25 lbs,
- Find a very comfortable setup on my mtn bike,
- Learn how to feed and hydrate my body during a 10-12 hour effort.
- Learn how to climb and learn to love-to-climb LTC
