A guy I know is doing it this year. It's a pretty serious ride, I know that there are some pretty dark moments for everone who has done it.

I've made a personal commitment to doing it, but right now I'm focusing on racing next season.

Nice. Not to digress too far, but what kind of racing are you going to focus on?

Just Road and Crits... I wouldn't race crits at all, but there are too few road races around here.

Ridetheraam, are you planning on doing the 508 anytime soon?

I gave myself a deadline of doing it in 2012. That gives me 5 years to get up the endurance, and the guts, and a support crew. Plus I would like to get a new carbon road bike. Right now I am riding my tri bike. I want to do it sooner than that, but that is my deadline. You figure if you do 254 miles a day you are set for it. I can't do that yet without running out of gas,but I am working on it. Gotta start linking long rides together.

We are doing a two man team in 08, and if it goes well and we can get a sponsor we will go solo in 09. I think I'm ready for a solo shot now, but I'm not sure I could make the final cutoff time.....might make, don't know for sure.
