I took a visit to The Scene today and see that Butch, CVO and Corey have decided not to saddle up in Wisconsin and instead rock the 162 the weekend prior. Can't blame them a bit. I plan to join them for the first 40, then turn around and ride back to Lincoln. 80 seems right the weekend before going 24.S.SS.Corey alluded to coming with to Support. Thanks Dawg. (Next time, you've got to own the Woody Allen.)
I'll be making one change to the Niner before hand. Switchblade.
If anyone has an overview of the course, I would love to hear about it via email (or post if you get your blog on.) I plan on getting there with enough time to preride, but a good description never hurts. I know Mr. 24 has described it as fast, painfully so.
Still a little paranoid about the fitness side of life. I can't quite settle into the hurt, like you can when your feeling nicely fit. It's coming back though.
Operation Ivy is playing a little too loud for my Mother-In-Law right now. (Yes, that is a shit eating grin on my face.)

9 mile is fast, alright...or at least has been the last 2 yrs I was there(04/(5)...& I sucked for dif. reasons both yrs(someone get me a tissue)...if the course isn't too dif. to yrs past, I'll be 38x17'n it my Giant, or 34x16'n it on my 1x1-fixt...yup.

162!
wouldn't that be the ideal training distance with a week togo before 9mile??? come on!!!
gobble gobble
I'll probably hitch a ride up to 9 mile with you and Sam.
I'm gonna be in Denver that week and plan on bringin' a bike. Probably get back on Thursday evening. When are y'all takin' off for 9 mile?
Hopefully Paddy will have my switchblade in time for 9 mile ( I actually ordered one at the beginning of the year thru another shop) as it will be the weapon of choice.
I raced there two years ago on a ss and found the course to be fast with no climbs , just rock gardens.
It is definately a party course with drunks and load music all night long.
Now all I have to do is get fit in 4 weeks.
