 I am planning to ride in the 50 ride,

Just out of curiosity, what makes this the "official" thread as opposed to just a regular thread.  I just did not want to respond to just "any old thread". 

The weather forcast will be a disappointing 82 degrees as opposed to  98 last year and 102 the year before.  BTW, I am "officially" doing 100.

I am in but not sure for what distance.  I think the 100 but I have to ask my coach...Did 60 this weekend..Ugh...I was really ready to get off the bike at the end of 60 so I can only imagine what 100 will feel like...

Hello

I was signed up for the 80 mile ride but decided to drop back to the 50 because of my first Sprint-Tri two weeks after.  My focus is on the Sprint race and this is a training ride.

When I rode my bike on Saturday I thought the whole ride was sluggish and my bike was not rolling well.  Well it is amazing what cleaning & lubricating of the your chain & gears will do for a road bike. My Sunday ride was much better.

I will be tall fellow riding in the Clemson bike jersey.  (CU 81) I figured this may get a rise out of the some of the UGA Dawgs.

Hubby and I are in for the 100. 

My coach has promised to drag me on this one...which works out fine assuming I can actually stay on his wheel.  If not, hope he brings a rope to tie to my bike.  My longest ride is 64 miles and it was totally flat (Savannah), so we will see what I'm actually able to complete.

Glad to hear the forcast is for cooler weather!

I'm with Lisa. Hope I can manage the distance.  It's been a while since I put that many miles on my legs at a go.

Go for it Kevin!  The course is flatter than Cartersville and the weather is supposed to be nice.

thanks. I am definitely leaning more towards doing it. I blew up on my 66 miler on the comet yesterday, but I think it's because I did not properly hydrate

Awesome!  I was just looking for a bicycle race.  Longest road distance I have ridden was 13.4 in a triathlon so I'll probably shoot for the 30mile ride.

I believe if you start the thread by going through the race link, it makes the thread the "official" thread. I could be wrong because I've never done it but I think that's how.

Hello

I live in SC so I had my daughter who lives close to Covington pick-up my race packet bag yesterday.

No ride numbers or rubber bracelet in the bag for identification purposes.  This is only my third ride for charity but each of the other times we had some way to identify the riders.

Ideas or thoughts?

Really?  Now how about that?  I was just being funny, or at least amusing myself when I asked what I thought was a rhetorical question.  I think I may start me an official thread one of these days.

Do you mean identification as to who your are?  The only century that I have done that does that is the Six Gap century because although they tell you a thousand times that it is not a race, they time you.

The rest of them just gave you a sticky thing around your wrist to show you paid.  Is that what you are talking about?  Either way, I would not worry about it.   They do not do the first at Covington and as for the second, I am would think they would give you strap if you say yours was missing from the bag.  Even if they did not, you can still ride.  The volunteers at the rest stops would not really care if you have  paid or not, but the main area would care about them for the spaghetti afterwards.

Hello

Here is the answer I just got from the ride coordinator

"Well this year we decided not to use the bracelets……so you will be fine. I look forward to meeting you – I will be on campus all day. make sure you come back with your daughter and family for the spaghetti dinner…."


It will be fun

Kevin
