I highly doubt anyone will ever read this but here goes....
This is intended to track both my motivated times as well as my unmotivated times.
For this summer i have three major goals.
1. Successfully make it to the top of Mount Whitney
I failed miserably due to blisters the size of quarters on both heels in 2007, no bueno as i was going great otherwise. Should know my permit dates here pretty quick!
2. Successfully complete Planet Ultra's Eastern Sierra Double Century
Another 2007 FAIL. Wasn't even kind of ready. At least i realized this at a safe bail out spot on the road and was able to pedal my ass back to Bishop.... Still pissed about that one.
3. Ride from home sweet home here in Van Nuys to Mammoth lakes in four days to meet the family for our summer vacation.
This is somehting I've wanted to do since i was about ten. I was on vacation up in Mammoth and saw the Mono Lake bike a thoners come through. For several years the Mono Lake Committee put on a ride from the reflecting pools at the DWP offices in downtown LA to Mono to raise awareness for the plight of the lake. By the time i was old enough to do it they'd stopped doing it so nows my chance!!!!! It'll be a motel to motel type adventure as i have no desire to drag everything with me and so i can go a bit quicker. Should be interesting! A couple of friends have expressed interest in doing some of the ride with me, always good to have some company!

ReplyDeletemy cousins grew up in mammoth so we would stay there every summer when i was a kid. my dad always talked about riding to mammoth and i've thought about it too... one day... some day... all this racing crap keeps getting in the way...
i know a friend who has a house in lone pine, could be a good place to spend the night.
