As this approaches I feel SO not ready! Have I considered everything? Do I have everything? What haven't I thought of? What am I forgetting? I have about ten lists of crap I need to bring! I just keep thinking, man, I'm just going for an extra long bike ride...why all the fuss?? Like every ten minutes I think of something else and my brain goes into a tailspin.
Yesterday I printed out all my cue sheets, along with the elevation charts, and all I could think of was, man, I should have done more hill training!
Last night I finally picked up my panniers from Mark at Power On Cycling and he installed my mid rack. Have I mentioned he's my hero??? My main concern is a mechanical problem that I just won't be able to figure out. Mark gave me his cell AND home phone numbers and said to call him...he can talk me through anything. What a sigh of relief! It really does elevate my confidence level just knowing (if I have cell reception) that help really is just a phone call away. The main thought that keeps circling in my head relating to some sort of mechanical failure is: Does AAA provide road service to cyclists?
With all of my around-town scramble, I haven't been able to organize anything yet. I have pretty much everything I need (I think), but it's all in random spots all over the house or in the garage. Tonight is my get-it-together night. Somehow it'll all get done. It has to 'cause I'm...uh...leaving for Savannah TOMORROW!
