2010 STP Predictions and Game Plan


Everything is packed, I'm super hydrated and my STP bib number has been placed on my jersey of choice.

My predictions for tomorrow:
Ride
Suffer
Eat
Drink
Ride
Frantically search for a port-a-potties
Wonder what the heck I'm doing
Ride some more
Repeat until I ride 204 miles.

I'm planning on starting at 4am and finishing sometime before the sun goes down.

My game plan:
Pray for strong tailwinds and do some major wheel sucking

Unless I have a major mechanical problem they are going to have to pry my hands off of the handle bars before I quit.

"I will commit, I will not quit"

Ride report coming next week.

I'll probably be awake! It will be 5 am here. I'll be thinking of you as I ride my bike on wii fit plus around the island - but I'll go about 8 miles in 30 minutes. GOOD LUCK MIKE AND YOUR BIKE!!
(the word is crose - it means it will be close but it will be record time!!!!!!!!) GO, MCJ!!!!!

Good luck! I think if you just keep pedaling, you'll be fine.
