2009 Race Goals - RevisedI really have only one goal this year - The Furnace Creek 508. To accomplish this goal, I must do the following... 1) Lose 25 pounds. I am currently at 205 lbs. I need to be at 180 to have a good 508. 2) Complete two 24 hour rides. The first will be the Oregon Randonneurs April 25, and the second being the Lewis and Clark 24 Hour Ultra on 23. These will be non-race pace long distance rides. 3) Complete a Super Randonneur series, including a non-sleeping 600 km. I will do the following: 200 K on July 11, the 300 K on July 25, the 400 K on August 8, and the 600 K on August 29. Due to scheduling conflicts, I must pass by the Davis 12 Time Trial.
