Well, as you know, I have been in Japan for the past couple of weeks, almost 3 actually. During that time I rode several commuter bikes that were way too small for me and Johanna graciously loaned me her MTB for a huge mountain climb. Other than that I have done basically no riding. I got home 7 days ago and I have attempted to ride 5 of those days. I say attempted becuase two of those rides were foiled by bike problems...messed up rear deraileur cable and broken saddle. This is the first time I have ever snapped clean through a saddle rail!
Well, in three days I will be taking part in an 18 hour race and I have to say...I am a little bit concerned. Suer I am riding with 3 other people, but it's never easy to ride hard for a couple of hours, sleep for a few, then ride hard again. I may try to squeeze in one more ride in the two days I have left. I can't really build any fitness but I can hopefully remind my body what it's like to ride and try to keep my legs fresh.
So, 3 weeks off, then 3 real rides...wish me luck, I'll let you know how it goes.
