Wow! Almost an empty weekend!

I just signed up to do a bike event on Saturday - Tour de Valley in Arkansas. There are three courses - 28-mile ride, 40-miler and a 65-miler. I'm doing the 40-miler in preparation of my 100K ride next weekend.

As for Sunday - good luck with your race, Jeanette!

Good luck Jeannette!

Susie I did a 100k a couple of weeks ago with my DH. First it was going to be 50 miles...then I noticed there was no 50 mile-only 50k and 100k (and 100 miles, but I'm not THAT crazy!) So I agreed to do the 100k. It was challenging, but satisfying. The snacks and post-ride pizza, subs and other food definitely helped my outlook.

Hope your ride is great, too!

I did a s-l-o-w 28 mile ride vs. the 40 I had planned. I got some 24 hour bug the day before and I just wasn't up to riding much in the heat and humidity this morning. I hope I can still do the 100k next weekend.

Good luck Jeannette!

Maura - congrats on your 100k! I've done a couple of 50 mile rides this summer so in my mind I know that 62 is only 12 more miles but sometimes, that 12 extra miles can be hell! Sounds like you had some good food after the ride. The ride I'm doing next week is one of the largest cycling events in the country - ~12,000 participants. Unfortunately, the food at the end reminds me of Disney - the usual bagels, oranges, bananas, gatorade, etc. I guess that's enough food but some of these events, like the one you mentioned, can really spoil you.
