Right then, that's it, 297 days from now I will be here considering today's decision with a much better perspective of "was it a good choice or bad choice". ;-)

Not much more to say except bring on the pain.

Edit: Ok, so now I have more to say. If you click on the little graphic you can see I just signed up for the Solo division. Which basically means I just signed up for a serious suffer-fest. This year the Solo winner in Canmore did 20 laps which is approx 300kms of racing and a 28,000 vertical feet gain in just under 24 hours of racing (did he get off his saddle, ever, c'mon really, wow). That's four times longer than the Bow 80 I just did and 3.5 times more vertical gain. Yikes!!!

To make it to the World Solo Championship (which is in Georgia this year) you have to be within 25% off the Canmore winner's lap count. So anything about 15 laps would do it. The 5th-8th finishing positions this year did 15 laps.

Man, I am going to have to start writing the blog from the saddle of my bike.
