Wow-I have not given much of a thought towards 2009 except for the 50+ ride. I still have 5-100 milers left to do in 2008.......

Will probably do many of the same events at PAlt. The ones I'll take a closer look at doing some planning around are:

Time Trials at Lowes-Assuming we have the series
Mountains of Misery-why am I even thinking of redoing the hardest finishing ride I've ever done???- hopefully there will be a conflict with Mitchell
Blood Sweat & Gears
RAIN
50+ Ride
Civil War Century
Bridge to Bridge-if they finish on Grandfather

Bucket list:
Mt Haleakala (climbing up-already ridden down!)
Tour in Utah-can't recall the name
Ride Across the US
Blue Ridge Parkway end to end
Lake Tahoe

Maybe I need to focus on scratching stuff off the Bucket list.........
