What would Eddie do now?

Welld,

Here it is. The face off between me and myself. I know I will likely be racing others this afternoon.

The real race however is between me and my fear of the unknown.and maybe a little self confidence issue. You see I had tried bike racing in my twenties. I was too big and didn't have the time to train. I had more important priorities other than cycling.

Well now is the day I will have to prove to myself that I can do it. I have prepared my body and equipment as best I can with the limited time frame I have had to work with.

I have logged just over 300 miles in training. There really is nothing left but getting packed up, get checked in on time and recon the courses. (The course is all on the same road so this will help me with not getting lost. This is a good thing.) Most importantly I will pray for safety of all.

I am not sure what else to do at this point. Better get some things ready.

I wonder what Eddie Merckx would do now?

This is going to be a blast!
