The challenge is on again… Last year, four of us made a pack to join the race. My partner and I were supposed to buy bikes and join the training sessions. When two of us started talking wedding bells, the bikes went on hold (indefinitely), and the training went to the dumps.

The start of the year came in full swing with lots of changes, injuries, wedding plans and what not. Suddenly, the grand dreams of making a place in the race got lost in the cobwebs of the deepest, darkest recesses of the mind.

The original date for the race was planned for May, but it has since been shifted to August 20. Last weekend, an old climbing friend suggested that I sign up for the race.

A couple of ponders and brief chats… so here I am looking for a bike to race with and working out my gym schedule with the regimented planning of an athelete looking for gold. Well, ok, so I exaggerate a little, but I figured this is a brilliant way of killing two birds with one stone:

1. Get into shape so my heartrate doesn’t go through the roof when I climb the stairs to the second level.

2. Get into shape so I might actually look decent in my wedding dress.
