NCOM

I'm in Texas where I'll be a crew member helping UK resident Rus Kesley compete in the 1000 mile bike race known as No Country for Old Men.  You can track our time station arrivals HERE and will be able to access live satellite tracking beginning 5 AM Pacific Standard Time on Saturday by clicking on THIS.

I'm just here to follow the crew chief's instructions.  It will be a different experience for me, both that I have nothing to do with the planning of this adventure, and that the team operates differently than what I've been experienced with. Data is not measured or tracked. Nutrition doesn't seem to be planned, other than we have a list of foods he wants to eat. It might work, but it might not.

Follow our dot and see how we are doing!

October..................

I haven't been on a bike in a long, long time.  Getting run over by a big truck and seeing the front bumper go over me and the front tire rolling to a stop less than 18" from my head does a number on my comfort level.  My full calendar of bike race support suddenly evaporated leaving me pretty much living a non cycling life.

That might be about to change.

I will be leaving for Texas in two days to help  UK racer, Rus Kesley, compete in the 1000 mile No Country for Old Men bike race,  and at the end of the month I will be in Borrego Springs helping Lisa Bliss as she challenges the 6/12/24 hr World Championship Time Trails.  I've never met anyone on the Rus Kelsey team, but know Lisa well, and have crewed for her before.

And, I'll be back on a bike again.  After all summer and fall of hardly riding, (only biked 440 miles since last November!), I'll be leading the #ridingeverydayinNovember challenge again.  It really is a lot of fun and we have folks from New Zealand to Sweden participating.  You can JOIN US too!
