I just don't think I can justify going over to Houghton, Michigan this Saturday to participate in a two hour mountain bike race...a quick calculation puts the price tag at over $100.00, plus nearly eight hours in the car and 400+ miles of travel...itz just not doable any more, too big of a carbon footprint, itz not "sustainable" anymore...Dylan's right: "the times they are a changin." So instead I am going to plan out a local adventure...May be try and hit all the single track in a single day...
For the season, I am gonna focus on races that fit the following formula:
Race time* must be greater than drive time...or itz a no go, unless itz a full on classic....this formula will still allow for a fully productive season and will also allow for more training for the PEAK RACE of the summer phase--The NATs 24 Hours @ 9 Mile...
*Time on the bike during a race...For example, total drive time to Wausau, Wisconsin (7 hours)...the race is 24 Hours long...so itz a go.
