One week from today, I'll be on my way to Arizona for PAC Bike Camp. I have to admit, I'm kind of nervous.
It's 80-100 miles a day for 7 days, and umm...I haven't ridden more than 65 since June 21, 2006 (yes, the IronMan).
I'm in good shape right now; I'm strong (weight lifting works!) and relatively lean. I've been teaching Spinning three times a week all year, and done lots and lots of trainer riding (a.k.a. Sex and the City watching). But, 80-100 miles a day with a bunch of guys? Yikes.
I'll be fine. So what if I'm the slowest person there? (I just might be.) I'll finish and by the time I'm done I'll be a biking rock-star. I've never done anything like this before; I'm nervous, but I'm also incredibly excited.
I'm bringing my computer and my camera. So, get ready for some posts from the roads of Arizona.
Oh, and...does anyone know what a gear bag is and what you're supposed to put in it?!?
