ghostrider said:You need to talk to our own King Monkey aka Westy. Also, noticed you are in Ventura - where/what do you ride?
Cool. I live in Thousand Oaks. Sycamore is my backyard - send me a PM if you want to ride. Good to see another local monkey.Zutroy said:Thanks for the info guys. I'm usually on Sulphur mountain or at Sycamore when i'm on the mtb, the rest of the time(most of the time) I'm on the road.
Dude, I'm trying to get on a ten-person corporate team so I only have to do one "trophy" lap.Westy said:I've done 3 solo. What would you like to know?
Zutrov, you should do a duo at the 24 hours of Old Pueblo with Ghostrider, it would be a good precursor to a solo shot.
Let me guess, 9 hot nekkid co-eds?ghostrider said:Dude, I'm trying to get on a ten-person corporate team so I only have to do one "trophy" lap.
Yes, there will be anywhere between -1 and 10 of those on my team.Westy said:Let me guess, 9 hot nekkid co-eds?
I'm taking the under.ghostrider said:Yes, there will be anywhere between -1 and 10 of those on my team.
The bigger question is how many people will be on Ghostriders team, -1 through any?Echo said:I'm taking the under.
I've got 3 teams fighting over my blazing speed right now. I told them all I'm good for 5 45 minute laps in the dry, day or night. My plan is when I come back in 1:30 I'll show them the busted chain I stashed in my pack, then I'll fake a pulled muscle and cruise the rest of my laps, drinking brews to ease the pain.Westy said:The bigger question is how many people will be on Ghostriders team, -1 through any?
naps is wasting time.peter6061 said:Hey Westy, when you've raced solo, did you ride the whole time or take time off for naps?
The goal is to ride the whole time, I've always been fairly unsupported so stopping to eat, work on the bike etc. is required.peter6061 said:Hey Westy, when you've raced solo, did you ride the whole time or take time off for naps?
I could see naps causing a problem. It probably is highly dependent on the person, and how you sleep. How long do you usually stop for and how often?Westy said:The goal is to ride the whole time, I've always been fairly unsupported so stopping to eat, work on the bike etc. is required.
The one I felt good in I never slept. The other two I ended up getting a nap or two in.
The biggest problem with naps is getting moving after you wake up, it is tough. Even tougher if it is cold out, with all you are puting your body through your metabolism slows down and getting warm again is near impossible. But it is amazing how much better you can feel after only a 30 minute lap. How much you need or want to sleep depend on what condition you are in. My friend Bob is a 24 hour machine. His wife does a great job supporting him and he never really leaves the bike except to change clothes. Ideally I'd like to do a race and only take one quick nap in the wee hours of the morning, just to refresh the mind.Zutroy said:I could see naps causing a problem.
