Yeah now that I somewhat have the Roker dialed in and some of the shorter gravel rides under my belt I plan on stepping up my game some and doing some of the longer rides. So far I know I have 3 rides planned.
Swamp Fox Gravel Fondo Charleston SC March 9th
Skull 120 in Burns Oregon June 15th
Gravel Worlds a 150 miler in Lincoln Nebraska Aug. 17th
I plan on retiring in 2 years so want to pay some bills off first. I use to do the rando riding 200k 300k 400k 600k and 1200k. I have finished 2 1200k's. I gave up the roadie riding because of getting hit by the drunk on the night ride on my roadie bike. I still want to go ride the PBP Paris Brest Paris 1200k in my lifetime. It is quite expensive so not in the works for next year but I want to ride it in 4 years.
With that being said they are having a million meters ride out of Green Bay this next year a 1000k ride I want to go do that. July 12-14th
Maybe a trip out to Wyoming to do one of the Wyoming gravel series rides.
I did enjoy the Grusk(Gravel Race up Spruce Knob) so much that I have thoughts of going back and finishing the full monty on that. It's a great detox weekend. There is also the Hilly Billy Roubaix there. I think if I went to that ride that I would be the oldest finisher there on that ride as the record right now is either 66 or 67.
