I'm thinking about 3-4 hours. Forecast calls for late rain, so if we're lucky it won't start dropping 'til we get back. L8r Nick PS: craig said he would go to nationals if we send ten riders to compete. The only reason we might not send ten riders to nationals is from people's mental barriers. All you have to do is ride your bike and sleep enough, and after a little while, you will get faster; it's refreshingly simple. People have real lives and other things to worry about, but I get the impression that some people aren't dreaming much. If you sleep enough, and you can find ten or more hours a week to train, even if you just go out by yourself at odd hours, you will get fast. We all have enough REAL barriers to deal with; class, graduation requirements, many people work, others are married. With so many REAL barriers to reaching goals, it is counterproductive to have mental barriers. If you want to dedicate yourself to something, there is nothing that will keep you from getting where you want to be. That whole concept is the foundation of the American dream; and we are all living the American dream !right now by going to a great university and becoming educated. It's not a big stretch to extend those ideals to your bike racing, if you so choose. Dream. .
