Just a passing thought, will probably come to my senses BUT . . .
Thinking of getting down to the Tampa area a few days earlier and topping off my training with a 3 day/60 mile trip (distance is negotiable). Monday AM through Wednesday PM, at sub-EC pace and leaving time to physically recover and perform any minor repairs before Saturday's Start.
Do you think this is too risky so close to the start?
Any ideas for a fun trip? How far up is the Peace River navigable?
Does anyone else have an interest?
