The CaLM

So last night I met up with some friends and with my kids and I tanked up on Pizza intentionally trying to put an extra layer of fat on me. Been adding on the bad carbs since Wednesday in an effort to go in a little heavy for the impending enduro.

The bike is all loaded up and with the fat tire feels like a dirty Snow bike. If you don't know what a snow bike is, google it. So for the duration of the ride you may hear me refer to it as the SAND bike.

I been doing the math, I think its only like 150 miles to Santos. I think I can get to Santos on Saturday, maybe in 16 to 18 hours, or maybe a little less. Take a NICE LONG REST AND RECOVERY, then Hammer some more miles till I tire or decide I want to rest.

Truthfully, it all remains to be seen, spirit and desire will have so much to do with it, I plan to enjoy myself, think of it more as a speed tour since I doubt that anyone ever will go for it, but again, that's not a given. The CFiTT Fixed gear title will be challenged this October, and I thought that would never happen. Honestly, I think the title is beatable, but it may be too steep of a learning curve for the person who plans to challenge it, the CFiTT route is not to be underestimated.

BUT, even though I have the freedom to cruise and not rush, I still think its critical for me to reach Santos before midnight on Saturday.

So we will see, Tomorrow is the big day. I will load up the bike tonight, stick it in my car, make some sandwiches for the first half of the day, then I will hit the sack. Get up, put on the outfit I will most likely wear all weekend and go for it, should be an interesting adventure.

Watch or don't watch, but there will be blog updates all weekend long,

take care,

Laters,
