Transrockies
posted by RoubaixRider at 07:20 PM on August 08, 2008
I've had a coach since February. I'm fully 100% recovered from my shoulder surgery back in November. I've got all my gear packed. And holysnot, here I am on the eve of the Transrockies, with a boxed bike and a plane ticket. And no, not just *any* bike. My riding teammate and I are piloting smokin'fast and so-new-they're-still-warm 2009 S-Work Epics.
My intent is to post my own possibly twisted and oxygn-deprvd version of what happens to us, so you can all share in my...um...ah...I honestly don't know which adjective goes here. Pick your favorite from the following:
1. Suffering
2. Agony
3. Adventure
4. Challenge
5. Insanity
6. Other: _________
My goals for the week:
1. To finish
2. To not kill or be killed by my teammate
3. To not crash too terribly, or too often
Regardless, it's go time. So bring it: 550km, 7 days, 18,000 Meters of climbing, and about eleventy bazillion calories. Neato, huh?
