Big Hairy Audacious Goal

I’ve been talking about it for some time with other SPP members, and today I “pulled the trigger” and registered for the other half of my 2011 epic ride.

At 7:00 pm October 14th, I will begin a 200k (Eastern Shore Reversed, near Wallops Island, VA) with a group of other SPP riders (the count is currently 6 7).  When we finish this night “warm-up ride”, several of us will then drive 45 minutes to the Seagull Century in Salisbury where we hope to start that ride (102 miles) between 7:00 – 9:00 am on October 15th.  Total distance will be somewhere between 225-230 miles in well under 24 hours.

This will be my longest time on the bike in “one day” and my longest distance ridden (by 70 miles).

This should be fun, “crazy fun” as one of my colleagues described it.

I’ll be looking forward to the beer and a massage at the end of this day.
