LOTOJA = Logan to Jackson
You tide from Logan Utah to Jackson Hole Wyoming as part of a road race. It's the longest
amateur road race in the US. In fact, I think the USCF no longer allows amateur races to be
any longer than 150 miles or so but this one got grandfathered in.
I rode this last year without training for it. In fact, my longest training ride that year was 70 miles. I can do it because I am a major slow-twitch fiber kind of person. Ask me to sprint in a crit though and well, we don't need to go there.
