Josh:
Yes, you have plenty of time for the 100. You are already riding well and your dedication is right on! The BSG is only a race to those who wish it to be. They actually give you 9 to10 hours to finish the ride. Before the event I would ride at least 2 or 3 (100 mile) rides and maybe a 125 for added assurance. Maybe sign up for a couple of spring century rides. Multiple trips up Conner will help as well. Anyone who hasn't ridden 18% grades should plan on a practice trip to the mountains to make sure you are man enough for your bikes gearing. Riding a 53/39 chainring could be very difficult with repeated climbs, so you may need to change the gearing on your bike if you don't have a triple or a 50/34 compact.

I got in about 15 miles at the Y this morning, and then I cranked out 20 more on the road this afternoon. I second the "welcome sunshine" shout out. It felt good to have the sun on my face. Hmmm, I like the thought of training for the BSG ride, but I'm not sure I can get ready in time. Any suggestions. You all have seen me in the saddle. Can I get ready for the 100 miler, or should I go for the 50? Goose Rev. Joshua M.K. Goocey Senior Minister First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) 207 Tarboro St. N.

Chris, David & I cruised our regular Sims route with minor detour. Just a few wet spots but mostly dry. It was worth getting the bike a little dirty for a chance to get outside.
