This is big...

I will be riding my bike for 7 consecutive days. Of course, getting ready for this I feel like I am forgetting something.

The checklist.

• Bikes (race bike and back up race bike)
• Riding gear (helmets x 2, shoes x 2, lots of shorts, jerseys, and socks)
• Cliff Shots, Nuun electrolyte drink tablets, protein bars, and recovery drink mix.
• Ryders sunglasses, water bottles, and sunscreen
• Spare Maxxis tires, brake pads, chain, bike stand, and tools.
• Chain lube and so on.

It isn’t cheap to do these kinds of events but I feel it’s the right time in my life to do them. My participation in these events is made possible by the following:

•        Ross McNamara@Gerick Cycle and Ski
•         NRG Enterprises
•         Joe Schwartz@Ryders Eyewear
•         Nelson District Credit Union
•         Tobi Ridge (my wife to be)
•         Friends and family 

I am driving to Fernie today to sign in, collect my race plate, have a good dinner, and hopefully get a good sleep so that I'm fresh for race day. I will be updating my results daily, so stay tuned and WISH ME LUCK!
