up next...
since my SUPER FANTASTIC AND AMAZING duathlon, i've had a lot of people asking... "so... what's up next!?"
i didn't really have a for sure answer before, but after today's whoa. i think i'm getting better! bike ride, i can definitely say i've got my eye on my first.... "not century ride".
(um.. okay. so what do you call a century ride, if you don't actually plan on doing a century?! i think it needs a name. someone get on that, would ya!?)
next weekend the Johnson County Bike Club is sponsoring... hosting!!?! (i know nothing of this event, do i?!) their annual Lone Star Century.. ride. thing. out in Olathe Kansas.
obviously, as you would of course assume.. this would be my first. and i'm actually kind of mostly excited about it!
today, this morning, i joined KCM for a memorial day group ride and, although i think the rest of the group was holding back a little (read: lot), for my behalf.. i actually felt pretty good, and definitely know next weekend's 45 miles is something i can do.
the Lone Star has 4 distances to choose from... 25, 45, 72 or 100 miles and, although i have no idea how this whole thing will work... it should be good times!
so yeah... that's what's up next.
one week from today.
no. strike that. one week from yesterday.
huh. well... yeah.
whatever.
i'm not nervous... SEE!!!?!?!
i'll be totally fine!
and i actually MEAN that this time!

If they would have just made it 50miles you could do your first 1/2 century. Good luck with your ride!

45 is close enough to call it a 1/2. 72 is too long to be a metric century. Weird distances but just pick one and do it! The cool thing about rides like that is they have rest stops with a lot of good food and you can rest your bums. Fun, fun!

Call it the: "Hey! At least I'm not running a marathon" Not Quite Century Ride.

I haven't figured out how to not have sorry-feeling naughty bits after a 25 mile ride, never mind 45 - it just hurts to think about!

LOL...can you call it a 45er? No. too pedestrian. Except...your not a pedestrian...but you get the meaning of my word...(going to go look up the dual meanings of pedestrian.)....
