Another gravel grinder on my schedule for the 2012 season. I think this will be the last event I commit to, the rest will have to be spontaneous. This one is a bit less intimidating than the Almonzo, but it won't be easy either. It's west of the metro, so it's bound to be less hills and more open space. This could be as much a problem as the hills, it can get windy out there. And the chance of any shade is doubtful. So a gravel hundo in mid June should be a worthy challenge. Registration was through the post again, here's a pic of my thrifty/lame postcard.
I'm pretty stoked to be a part of these events, I like what they stand for and how they are being run. There is a whole race series built around them now that I have been internet spying on. Lots of the other riders have blogs that I check on, mostly about their training and gear, some pics. It only gets me more excited to ride.
Yesterday The Beav and I got out for about 20 miles around town. It wasn't warm. We made it almost two hours before stopping for coffee, then bolting home to see the Super Bowl. Yeah right, I didn't watch a single minute. Really, I couldn't care any less about it or any other football match. Anyway, Beav and I had a good time. We always do. He showed me where the Ohio st. hill is and we climbed it once. I see a few more trips up that one in my near training future. Did I mention I'm doing two gravel century races? Sheesh.
