Weather is playing in my favour to stay off of the bike to let the body recover. GI adjusting to Boost quite easily and stocked up for weekend, thank you Shoppers Optimum card. Was hoping to get a quick ride in with an old buddy last night but, alas, the driving requirements with new gig didn't enable it..Now it's time to monitor the body and mind for readiness..Last year..camped night before HANSOLO and pre-rode course night before...definite plan this year.
Will hope to get an easy spin in this evening...even if it means on the trainer...actually...that is EXACTLY what I'll do. I think the best plan is to reconnect the road bike with the trainer, plug in a little 24 hr solo and get an easy hour spin in....yup....weather...wreak havoc tonight....keep all those mid range solo riders off of their bikes...Still haven't seen the updated camping list/entry log to determine who is showing up to this event. Can pretty much plan that there will be faster/stronger riders (always a given), but in the world of 24 hour endurance racing.....one never knows the outcome :))))))
Now to determine method of caffeine consumption....funny thing last year....thought I bought Perpetuum but rode entirely on Heed product...caffeine was ingested solely through cups of coffee....rode all night....perhaps repeating this will yield similar results, however.....stronger stimulants will be needed for 5-6 am fo shore.
BOOM...this year's race forecast....ride ALL 24 HOUR's even if it means getting off of the bike and walking for periods......no tap outs ALLOWED!!! THis will be my last 24 hour solo...no longer need to battle demons in the head...feeling pretty clear ;)
