September 2010 Archives
Mike made our bed for the van yesterday and it is quite comfy-in the heat that is to come, the resting rider will need to recover. Tina did quite a bit of packing as well as the longest session yet in the sauna. The temperatures look like they will be in the 90s for most if not all the race, but with our fantastic crew, many gallons of water and a huge amount of ice, we are excited to get started.
Mike has also been working on this website to make it keep track of our progress on the course. Check back over the weekend..
If you all would like to follow the race via live streaming video, this will be live starting at noon on Friday and it will be at the finish in 29 Palms, too. That means if you time it right, you could watch us cross the finish line! (Sunday night sometime)—>

” WHO let the cat out?!?”
Go Super Tabby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, it was hot on the backside. 91 degrees at the bottom, so this seems like a good training ride for the 508.
I was out on Mt Diablo today, doing some good heat training. After Tina’s excellent week of training (over 200 miles and 16 hours), I have some catching up to do. Mt Diablo is excellent training for the heat and the climb is very much like a lot of the hills I’ll see, esp. Townes Pass. Morgan Territory was hot, even in the shade. Only four weeks to go, and I’m feeling good.
