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?!?

Gear bag? Not sure. But when you come back all rock starred out, can I draft off you during the MS150?
The body is an amazing thing and sometimes it just needs us to let it do its thing. I'm sure you're going to do GREAT! Just keep on spinning and all will be well.
Yowza! I'm sure you'll surprise yourself-I am always in awe of your ability to get it done. Looking forward to your tales of bike camp. Make the boys cry:)
Good Luck, kick ass and have fun! It sounds like it'll be a blast.
all those spin classes????
man, you are set....
you will do well...
have a great time at the camp....
You are a woman after my own heart! I just polished up my bike today and put it in my car. My plan? Resume my 24 mile each way bike commutes starting Tuesday. I have ridden precisely 10 miles since November 29th. Good luck to you! I will be feeling your pain. :)
