I recently learned of a little underground race in Southern California called the Stage Coach 400. This 400 mile gem of a race/ride takes place on March 27 in Idylwild Ca, and circles through Borrego Springs, Ocotillo Wells, Laguna Mountain, down to San Diego Bay, back up through Escondido, Pamo Valley, Warner Springs, then back to Idylwild.
as per my typical self, ive been wavering this race for the past two weeks, weighing the pros and cons. looking at the cost of the aditional gear i will need to purchase to pull off this ride. Not to mention the bike I intend to ride is currently being build in a factory in China.
Today Ive officially talked my self into it.
This Free race has a sugested 25 dollar donation to the hosts home town favorite charity.
Gas is less than 2.00 per gallon currently, to the 12 hour drive wont cost too much for me and my 2000 toyota 4 runner.
I desperately need a new sleeping bag, and my sleeping pad is a little heavy
My main worry is my right knee. I commonly have knee pain on rides between 40 and 50 miles, but it usually settles out after about 60 miles or so, So hopefully this wont be a problem for me.
Mentally Ive been preparing for two weeks, slowly beginning to ride again, i started myself on a regiment of fish oil pills and have begun taking Optygen again, Vitamin B12 is also on the morning menu.
