ThRoW SoMe D's On ThAT!!!

Double Dare is coming up this weekend.

Earlier this year I had slotted to partner with my buddy Luis to do the PMBAR. Those who keep up with the blog know that I had to bow out from that race and several races due to a medical condition that needed surgical attention.

Well now I am back, I am strong, and my form is the best its ever been. This weekend My partner and I, will race in Pisgah Forest, for two days 12 hours each day with a 6 hour break. Some will treat it as a race, some will treat it as a fun ride, I will treat it as an off road tour of the mountains.

My plan is to carry 3600 calories, and all the required gear in my handlebar bag. The goal for Saturday is anywhere from 6 to 8 checkpoints then smoke it back to the end line before the 12am cut off. Then Get up Sunday and roll out by 6am to get 6 to 8 more.

Finishing would be grand, placing would me a miracle, even if we were professional riders, local knowledge goes a long way and my partner and I are far from locals.

I am ready, the gear is tight, will practice my bike set up tonight, but If I ride this weekend like I rode there two weekends ago, I will have no problems with speed or covering distance in good time.

ITS ON BROTHERS, LETS MAKE WAR!!!!

Laters,
LOS
