Re: Two challenges for the Strava-thletes among us

Well done to Klaus on the 60 hour Strava challenge!

Now it's on to the next, the 79-mile challenge one-day ride in the 11/16 to 11/18 window:

Riders -- where are we going? If Saturday is the day, we're looking at a high in the mid-40s.

Ideas I've heard:

• ride to Boulder for a burger, roll home
• something similar with a Lyons route
• Pingree Park and back (see http://app.strava.com/activities/9575781 for a one-way)
• ride one-way to Nebraska (perhaps just over the border near Pine Bluffs, WY) and get evac'd back home (offering dinner or some other enticement to the driver)
• Jeff's brutal, largely offroad route + 10 (Man Route, will require lights)

Other ideas? Who's in?

Done. Over and finished. To make this happen I rode +3 hours every day, yes - every day, for 2 weeks. My typical commute was 21 miles (one way). A few days I went for a bit longer. Stuck in memory is commute home via Loveland - Mason (too fast, needed to add a town loop) and a weekend of two 5h rides.

So, 60h in 21 days can be done. However, it means doing nothing but working, biking and sleeping. It also means burning legs are continuous and the desire to do something else than biking is continuously increasing. Point in case: Mike and Wade drove me hard on Saturday's 20 mile loop. I did initiate a sprint back to the parking lot - for only one reason: a chance to go fishing for maybe an hour before dark. (Yes, I did catch some.)

Hi Riders,

I signed up for my first two Strava challenges:

• http://app.strava.com/challenges/bmc-79-mile-challenge
• http://app.strava.com/challenges/cannondale-oktoberfest-with-tim-johnson

Need all the help I can get to keep it rolling as the temps go down. Join in if you are so inclined...

Route suggestions for the 79-miler?

Mike
