So I ALMOST violated one of my MTB training rules...
Lisa Rule #1: In no instance shall the time required to travel to and from the trail be longer than the ride itself. Exceptions can be made for races and unforeseen mechanical breakdowns.
Yes, Kim and I drove up to Bear Creek and only rode for 2.5 hours...It should have been around 2.75-3 hours, but we rode a bit faster than usual. Time in the car was a little over 2 hours each way for me, so I almost broke my rule. I just didn't feel the need to ride any longer - perhaps a quality vs. quantity thing going on. Honestly, I think I got my fill of long rides in at TransRockies. Now I'm looking forward to some shorter, faster races. I hope I can find some teammates for some upcoming 12 hr MTB races, as I REALLY am not looking forward to racing them solo.

hmm..i'm feeling the same way. maybe we could get a female team together for a 12 hour. that would be fun!
btw, are you going to the SS race? would you be interested in carpooling?
I am going, however, Chris and I will be at an orienteering meet over in Gwinnett County most of the afternoon on Saturday and were planning on heading down to Macon afterwards (staying the night down there). I was hoping to pre-ride so I can figure out my gearing. We can swing by downtown and pick you up if you don't mind getting there Saturday afternoon/evening.
OK, don't worry about it then. I'm helping Eddie and my friend Mark out at the 24 hour urban road race so won't be able to go down until Sunday. See you there!
