Oh, so much is new. A lot has happened since my last post, and I will eventually get to most of that.
But, for now, I have, once again, signed up for the a couple of gravel rides in order to force me to prepare for the Bike MS Escape to the Lake. You can donate here, hint, hint.
First up is the Barry Roubaix on April 21st. I am riding the 36 mile option. The weather last year was 42 degrees and raining for the whole ride. But, that was run in March. I’m hoping that, since its in April this year, it won’t be as frigging cold.
Two weeks later, on May 5th, it’s the Black Fork Gravel Grinder in Loudensville, Ohio. Last year, I didn’t believe their claim “We have hills!”. It’s Ohio, right? How bad can these so called “hills” be? Oy vey iz mir, did they have hills. Tall, long sandy gravel climbs that were slippery in the rain. About 100 feet of climbing per mile. I have no idea why I am going back.
I will let you know how this turns out…
