Tomorrow I do the Gran Fondo which I have been looking forward to all year...well now that it is here I am worried. I was suppose to be riding everyday after having Roen, but I haven't...not even close.
The Levi's Gran Fondo is in Santa Rosa CA, and it is a 103 mile ride with a lot of climbing like 8k or 9k. Today when I picked up my registration packet I got a magazine with articles about all sorts of things but one was talking about the ride and I quote;
"To
ride the King ridge, a cyclist needs to be fit; the kind of fitness
that comes only with riding at least a few thousand miles a year."
Wait do you think he meant to say a cyclist who just had a kid and maybe has 415 miles under them...I'm sure he meant hundreds of miles...not thousands. Right?
So I may not be conditioned to do this ride, but I don't know if that will stop me...I just want it to be a great day. There are going to be about 7,500 riders so I will never be alone, it's not a race...it's a just a fun day in the saddle. To tell you the truth any day riding is a good day, even on your worse day.
I'll take some pictures and post them after the ride.
Kind of a downer tho, Seth was suppose to ride tomorrow but while he was in Moab this last week he may have broken his foot. Totally sucks! It sucks for him, but it's even worst for me! I was going to have him wait for me at the bottom of the hills and have him push me up. Now I guess I'll have to do it all by myself.
Overall I am so excited to have an amazing day in the saddle...and if it's not amazing I will just call it a fat camp training ride.
