Sign up starts today.

I have someone who is trying to persuade me to sign up (or enter the lottery). I'd love to do this ride but, in all honesty, something this long and grueling is probably a couple years down the road.

be careful Molière. I have said the same thing for bout 25 years and now I think I might be too old to ever try it.

As soon as my kids get a little older, I'd definitely like to take a stab at this. Despite living in Logan for a few years while going to school, I never was able to put together a good run at it. Given that all my summers there were spent in the woods collecting research (i.e. fishing), I couldn't ever train the three months before. And if/when I ever do it, I want it to be something I do well, not something that I just endure 17 hours through.

RC, are you going to test your bionic knee on it?

It is a dun ride but make certain your equipment is in good shape and dont let RC make you stop at the first rest stop.

A buddy from high school wants to do it and asked if I would do it with him. We were going to do it last year but he had a conflict but this year it looks like a go. Signing up for it will provide me with a lot of incentive to ride this summer and get my knee strong again.

I've learned to blow right through that first stop. You need to come do it again so you can get that first terrible experience out of your mind.

I just read the course description. The Salt River Pass--after having ridden what, 100+ miles?--with the last three miles at 7 to 9 percent sounds horrible. I think I'll stick with centuries and a double metric this year, but I'm in awe of the Lotojans.

It is lots of fun until your buddy leaves to peddle in with a broken axle. You can do it PAC.

I'm not sure it was the broken axle or the fact you still had your winter gear on throughout the race that slowed you down.

The axle fell apart when we undid the wheel. The winter gear didn't help, but try spinning in one gear the last thirty six miles. It was less than ideal. The other part was fun.

Be careful, Cree . . . well, you know.

I just submitted my application. Now I wait to see if I am selected. While it would be great to be able to complete the ride, I'm not so sure I will be heartbroken if I don't get in. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that my friend (six-time veteran) wants to set a goal of 10 hours or less. I was hoping to train just to finish, not to finish fast.
