I’m in no shape to race Gravel Grovel this year. It’s less than three weeks away, and I haven’t trained nearly enough. Even though I’ve already registered, I’m not attending.
My goal now is to be read to race the 2014 grovel – at 175 lbs or so. Wish me luck.
Weight issues are the toughest. I fight the battle too Dave. Good luck!
Come out anyway, do the 25 mile Fun Ride, have beer and wait for me and Asher at the finish.
I, in fact, wish you luck.
And I agree with Timothy. Why the hell not?
Also, has it been mentioned that I’m putting a series of Gravel Adventure Rides on the LBC schedule over the winter. Current plans 2 a month Nov-Feb, did 36 miles out of Marengo on Sunday, next is 45ish out of New Washington this coming Sunday.
Yeah, definitely do the Fun Ride! Offer of transpo still stands, of course!
PS, it looks like both Timothy and I are doing the fun ride instead of the race. Neither one of us is feeling sure about having the fitness of this year’s 62-mile course, which includes the Nebo Ridge Trail (gah!) and a jillion miles of fresh, chunky, Indiana Mini-Babyheads.
My bro-in-law is borrowing our car right now, but if you still want to come and would liek to car-pool, I will see if we can swap the car for the truck for the weekend.
