Moab here I come!

It's official. I am registered to race my bike for freaking 24 hours in the desert.....solo, of course. Now comes the fun part.....finding some dirt cheap lodging. That is what I have on tap for tonight. There will be no bike riding today. Today is my once-a-week day off. Tomorrow, I once again, have the day off, so I am planning on another day of high quality saddle time. The weather is supposed to be a treat....25 mph S wind, with gusts to 45 mph. What's up with that?

As far as Moab....they limit the solo field to 50 riders, and it's fill'd. Here is the start list, and who's a threat.
