Let the UltraCycling Begin!This weekend, the UltraCycling Racing Season begins with two events at opposite ends of the USA. For the road racers, there is the Bike Sebring 12/24 Hours time trials at the Sebring International Raceway in Sebring Florida. Meanwhile, for the Mountain Bicyclists, there is the Susitna 100 located near Mt. Susitna, popularly known in Southcentral Alaska as Sleeping Lady, which lies across Cook Inlet from the City of Anchorage. I would rather ride for 24 hours on a raceway track rather than 100 miles across the Alaskan wilderness, but that is just me. While these two races are going on, I intend to ride a century on both Saturday and Sunday. These are the last long rides before the Spring Death Valley Double. Currently, Saturday looks to be dry while Sunday could be wet.
