I'm in. Travel must be tough for a lot of folks this year.
I'm going with 5 guys from Chicago, two teams. Spidermonkey Cycling (Goose Island's 312 is our title sponsor, big logo on back--hell, I look like a lanky beer bottle) & 3 guys from Burnham Racing. I'm doing the 3s, along with the Burnham guys, and one teammate is doing the 4s...actually, I hope he can finish it. According to him, he has been on the bike a dozen times in the last two months. (if that is true: goodspeed, sir!)
I just upgraded, have not been racing at all since mid may and have never done a climb more than 1k long. I have no idea what the RR will do to me...my goal is simple: finish strong.
Suffering indeed!
