The 508 - The Night BeforeAll is ready. The crew are putting the final touches on the van and purchasing the final supplies. I am in the hotel and will be in bed soon. Tomorrow, the fun begins. Plan for the race: in a word - finish. But let me expand on that. I want to finish within 40 hours and have only 90 minutes off of the bike. That means I should cross the finish line at 11:00 pm on Sunday. I am ready for this race. I completed the Spring Death Valley Double Century. I completed all four climbs of the Mount Shasta Super Century. I completed the Ultimate Oregon Double Century. I rode 307 miles in the Ring of Fire 24 Hour Time Trail. I can do the 508.
