I am in shock--I am feeling the cold creep of fear. I just downloaded the course map and elevation for the 90 mile LIVESTRONG ride in Austin--the one in 'bout six weeks?
Well, see for yourself.
Almost 3,000 feet of climbing! I'd given this a look when signing up, and it didn't look SO horrible--I mean it goes up, it goes down, but there's no mountains, right? I didn't read the fine print.
I thought Texas was flat!!
I find this daunting. But not impossible. In the spirit of this revelation, I am heading out on a 60+ miler that will take me from our front door in Irvine to someplace in Encinitas by noon today.
Yes, on my bike, you wiseacres.

Practice the downhills as much as the uphills -- if you don't get comfortable on the descents you won't relax and get the rest you need before the next climb.
