So, the other day I am looking at my event calendar and I see that on November 15th I have a 100 mile ride scheduled in Solvang with LA Run buddy. No biggie. It's been there for months. Let's see that is ....
2 weeks away!
Hmm ... NOW we have a problem.
You may have noticed I haven't blogged about much cycling lately. Well, that is only because I have not been doing very much cycling lately. Oops.
In light of this, I have toned down my plans to the 100K ride (62.5 miles) which will still be the longest ride I have ever done and a stretch or me, but less likely to, umm.., KILL me.
Tomorrow
I am running the 25K at the Stinson Beach Trail Run. There is a 100% chance of rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms (really, pretty rare in California). I don't think I have ever seen the weather forecast say 100% chance. That isn't really a 'chance' then, is it?
Whatever. I have a hat.

I'm so glad we have rain. I wish I had gone out and ran in it. But I'm a slaker. I wish I could ride a bike... I mean I can ride a bike just not for like any significant distance and my clutsy old 10 speed (2 gears work) wouldn't be up to the beating. So 100K, I'm thinking of you! Two weeks? You can do it! I have faith in you.
Training spmaining!! Who needs it.
100 mile, 100K what's the difference anyway huh?
Hope all is well with you.
With all you've done already this year, you can totally do a 100K bike ride. The hardest part will probably be just sitting on the bike for so long.
As for the 100% rain, did you do something to piss off the weather gods? Well, better during a run than a bike ride ...
The weatherman is always wrong! :D Run it and cycle it. Just remember you ARE "Run Bitch Run". :D
I did a couple of 50 mile rides, without much training. I think I was able to do them because of all the running I do.
Since you run so much, I am sure you can do a 100K no problem.
Hope the 25K goes well for you in the rain.
I think you can do a 100K ride no problem - I mean - it won't kill you. :-)
Egads, good luck with that wet run.
nov 15th...Solvang...kinda right up the street from me..kinda...and there is a wine pickup on sunday 16th in that area for a wine club I'm a member of.....hmm...now that I'm FINALY finished with my month long work hell....I'm going to try!
You would have no problem with 100K or 100 miles on the bike - except for your butt bones and girl parts aching after a bit.
I did a VERY hilly 50 miles after not being on a bike for a year, no training and a surgery 3 weeks prior. Yes i was sore after, no I wasn't fast.....
You can knock this out!
