Tomorrow I line up on the starting line of a bike race for the first time in about 35 years. I had to double check my own math on that several times because it doesn’t seem possible but yeah, I was 20 years old the last time I entered a bike race.
Tomorrow’s race is the first stop in a month long training roadtrip across the country. I decided to escape the cold muddy New Hampshire spring to head to the midwest. Tomorrows race is in Louisville Nebraska where the temperature is going to be 35 degrees…. and it has been raining all week so the roads will likely be muddy. So, that part of the plan didn’t quite work out but it will still be a good race. The good news is tomorrow is supposed to be dry with some sunshine, so beyond the cold it should be a good day.
The next several weeks I will be roaming about and living out of my little home on wheels. After this race in Nebraska I will be heading south to Kansas and will be doing some training rides on parts of the route they used for previous Unbound XL races to really get a better sense of what I will be experiencing at the end of May.
