Subject: RE: Opelousas Rotary Sunrise Duathlonjustalittletri - 2006-03-06 6:57 AM Man that levee has me spoiled!! Rode the course yesterday 1. I didn't even make it to the street without falling over 2. Those tiny little bumps tore me up, and I realized that I've never really done even the smallest of hills. My sis is coming in from out of town this weekend for her baby shower (woohoo!! - I haven't seen her since the storm), but I am going to try my hardest to get out there again next Sunday afternoon to do another round of torture. I'll have to work out some timing issues though, I'll let you guys know when I can go out there when I get an idea. I know what you're saying about the "tiny little bumps", the surface of the service roads leaves a lot to be desired. The road crossing under I-49 on the north side is just plain crap. Angel and I rode it again yesterday, this time with the wind out of the south rather than the north, and it certainly made riding the course different. Not necessarily better or worse, certainly different. Decidedly, the best scenario will be a gentle breeze from the east or west so the trees will provide a windbreak. We'll do the ride again next Sunday at ~3pm, Brandy or anyone who can make it out. Shouldn't be as time consuming now that you know what hospital to go to.  |
