Time to GO!

Packed Up

Work on Wednesday was extremely tough, as it was beautiful out and I just wanted to get home and get packing for the trip! All the training I could do is done, so now it is time to just get going!!

This is my fourth 24 hour solo event, and I am totally psyched about doing it! I really enjoy the challenge of riding as hard as I can for 24 hours. The fact that I am a type 1 diabetic only adds to that challenge. The course at Conyers is difficult in spots (the slick rock stuff is crazy), but it is a blast to ride!

Preparation for this race has gone pretty much as close to plan as possible. The only bad thing that happened last minute was that my support person (always good to have one of them on these longer races) bailed at the end of last week. I haven't found a replacement yet, so this might be a solo solo. :) No worries. I've done it before, and the weather looks perfect so mechanical issues hopefully won't be a problem.
