Ten Day Countdown
There are ten days to go before the final ALC pushes off in San Francisco. ALC recently passed $14 Million with more to arrive this week. The training is done. The packing remains.
Saturday was my last serious training ride: a 46 miles and 5,410ft climb to Mount Hamilton (Scalata Hors Categorie in Maglia Rosa).
This past week, I have been in maintenance mode: some light zone 2 indoor cycling and plenty of yoga. This weekend, I’ll do some short training ride in the South Bay to keep the cement from hardening. Stay loose.
Remaining task list:
- $3,500 fundraising minimum reached. Ticket earned.
- Medical forms completed
- Camp forms completed. Tent mate.
- Last minute shopping: extra inner tubes, tent light, lidocaine patches, etc.
- Pack (Picky Packing list ; my ALC Packing list notes)
- Final tune-up of my bicycle: replace brakes, get extra derailleur hanger, prepare saddle bag.
- Orientation day: drop off bike
See ya at the Cow Palace or along the route.
