I'm signed up and paid for London Edinburgh London in August, with completing as a goal. Getting to the start line 20lbs lighter than today's weight is another.
This week I signed up as interested, in the Space Needle to Golden Gate Bridge self supported 1700km brevet in September. 60k feet of climbing. Frickin insane.
Everything else will be prep for those.
Perhaps I should see a shrink. It would hurt less.
