Well,
it's finally here. The start of the Bailey Hundo is less than 24
hours away. Tonight I'll drive into Bailey and set up camp. Race
start is at 6:00am. Weather is calling for 30% chance of Isolated
T-Storms this afternoon until 10pm. In other words, 30% chance for
camping in rain and lighting. Temperature at race start is 45 and
will get up to 69 by the last 2-3 hours. Once again chance for
Isolated T-Storms starting at 11am. Yep, it's going to be a long,
cold, and potentially rainy day. Going to have to carry a lot of
clothing for this 8+ hours ride. I'm a little nervous, but not as
nervous I was on Monday. Now that I've checked off everything on my
'what to bring' list and looked over it a hundred times I'm a little
more at ease. All that's left is to drive down, set up camp, and
attempt to get a halfway decent nights sleep until I wake up at
4:30am in the dark and cold. What can I say, this is what I raised
$500 to do, and I love it! The second the gun goes off I'm going to
be in mountain biking bliss. There are some really good trails to be
ridden tomorrow. Thank you to everyone that donated so I could do
this race! Don't know how well I'll do, but failure is not a option!
Game on!
