Well... here's how things are shaping up for my weekend:
- Saturday: play around on Skyline Drive (warm-up for Sunday?)
- Sunday: Blue Ridge Extreme Century
I'm on my own. I haven't been able to get any of my race team mates to join me (yet--still working on it).
After my race tomorrow, I'll be carb loading for the weekend. I just hope the weather holds out.
