Call me crazy– want to ride 8, 16, 24, 32, … or 100 miles on Saturday May 28th, in 6-8 mile loops?
I had The Fat Cyclist’s “100 Miles To Nowhere” mentioned to me recently. His idea is: chip in $80 towards Livestrong, and ride your own century indoors, or on some short course. Just because.
That lines up with my interest in riding a century at some point but my general ambivalence towards Organized Rides or anything that smacks of racing. For a while, I’ve thought it would be interesting to ride loop after loop around Golden Gate Park, with friends and strangers joining for as many loops as they want.
So, on May 28th, I’m seriously thinking about riding one of these routes over and over:
If you’re interested in joining for a loop or two, a metric century (100km), or a full century, let me know and I’ll keep you posted on details. I’ll arrange for some sort of prizes/souvenirs for everyone, whether a spoke card or bike swag or something.
[ You’re free to register for the Fat Cyclist century or not– the $80 goes to a good cause and you get a t-shirt, but you certainly don’t have to register or pay anything– you can just ride for yourself. His Livestrong registration closes this weekend. ]
