What Am I Thinking..
That subject line really isn't a question, it's a statement. I'm doing the 6 Hour Grind on the Greenway next Saturday.
Here's my list of excuses of why I'm an idiot regarding this:
1. I plan on building up my 29er single speed for this race
2. The off road riding has been very limited in the past 5 months
3. The 29er riding has been very limited in the past 1.5 years
4. So far there are no females signed up for single speed
5. I've had a cold/allergies/strep for the past 3 days
6. Team Dicky won't even be there!
Originally the plan was to do this duo with a team mate, but the lack of riding I've been having I decided pulling a teammate down with me isn't the smartest idea. Thankfully Kim will be in the pit keeping me fed and watered, I shouldn't have any mechanical issues on the fully RIGID single speed and it will be a good reason to ride my bike for 6 or so hours.
My new plan is commuting as much as possible this week, and getting on the dirt Tuesday and Thursday if it isn't raining. This weekend I'm going to build up the "attack bike." My figuring is I'll be teamed up with Ergon grips and a comfy saddle.. I'll be fine. I still need to find that comfy seat though.
