Looks interesting

I'm toying with this:
Ultracycling: Larry Schwartz Year-Rounder Century Challenge

Basically it's about riding a century for every month of the year. I like it because it really doesn't require a lot of training, outside of what we normally do anyways.

 

Hmm. Having never done a century at all, I can't comment fully. I did want to try one in January or at latest Feb for the Palm Springs ride. I REALLY wanted to ride the Death Valley century but that's out this year 'cause I went and scheduled the school musical for that weekend. Doh! Seems doable, though. I mean, we did the Tour de Foothills in about 3.5 hours and that was 65 miles. 40 more miles in six hours? Easy.

 

Cough, cough, RS.

 

cough, cough, missing out on good times, cough, cough

 

Sir Gurp, everyone knows you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

i'm old...........but it did teach or remind me of an old trick.......pain........followed by beer!

 

i had a 2 step bonk walking up the stairs at school one time, boy was that embarrassing!

 

I know the 70 mile bonk. Hit it today. I'll ride on a group 100M bonk fest anytime. It dosen't take an event to get out and try it!

Here's one of the best nearby Centurys: Solvang Century & Half-Century Bicycle Ride Information

 

Without a doubt Solvang is one of the best. I'll more then likely hit that one again.

 

I'd do Solvang without any arm-twisting. I think that might be a bad date for me, though. I'm taking my students down to L.A. to see Wicked one of those weekends in March. I don't know if it's that one or the one after. If I'm free that weekend I'd be strongly tempted.
