I got offered a spot on the Race across america with 4 mil

I am not sure due to my current internal bleeding problems and lack of road riding latley. I know I could get in shape in time and be a benefit to the 8 man team, but the training/supplements would be pretty hard on my system considering how I nearly dropped and died a little while ago.

what say you? throw health and recovery on the back burner and blow myself out? or go on the team as a mech and still train lightly and have a good time? or take the docs orders and just chill?

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Why do you even ask ? You know you're going to do it. Like my friend's signature says, " Attack Life....it's only going to kill you anyway ".

 

[Mr Jones]

I say go and wrench. You got some new hotness to keep you company in the pits and in the chase vehicles.

LoL at the "have skibunny's baby" option. guess that was for IrideMTB

 

[gonefirefightin]

guess that was for IrideMTB

ehhh.....er..yeah....of course! I was definitely thinking of IrideMTB when I wrote that in

 

[DirtMcGirk]

Clearly they didn't make us smarter in the Army...

Heal up. A wounded soldier is a liability. Get healthy, get right, get in the fight next go 'round.

hahaha

 

[Iridemtb]

Don't make me reach through my screen you pricks. Just because of that I will vote for the last option.

I say just chill dude. I work in a gym and see how rough the supps and exercising can be. Especially if you are really really really pushing it. I mean if you just need to work out for a few months to get there, go for it. But if you need to work out for a month and a week like rocky balboa, skip and just avoid the possible trip to the ER.

Cowboy up, take your GNC 'roids, and go racing!

Glad Im not the only one who thought of that...

 

[Iridemtb]

Haters gonna hate.

I will never be like that because I won't juice, but I will get over 200 and CUT at 5' 7"... Given that school doesn't suck up every ounce of time I have.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Don't think of it as a potentially life endangering race, think of it as an expense free opportunity for little GFF to get to work in one epic country wide swath of pvssy destroying glory. I say why not?

 

[mantispf2000]

Tough spot. You don't want to damage yourself for chances at future glory, yet how many times will a chance like this come along? As long as the team knows and understands your limits, I say ride away.

I was hoping the last vote option would be winning

 

[ultraNoob]

I voted Bacon.... and who is this skibunny and why do you want to have his babies?

youve been missing out

 

[jimmydean]

Worth shooting for, but not worth dying for. Train up and see where you stand. If you can pull it off, it would be worth it. As if you need more stories.

 

[stevew]

i'd say be a wrench and nail vag across the US.......but you do the second half of that anyway...

I own harleys........thus I do both, one more than the other mostly

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Wrench it. You already have the hero bit nailed.

 

[gonefirefightin]

says the hero himself

 

[loco-gringo]

I'm pretty sure that's the organization that Nieves is planning to do it with. I say go for it. I wish I could take off and go wrench for you guys.

 

[Iridemtb]

Awwww........you're just a cute little thing!

Well I figure if I get big I'll get more BJ's

 

[Westy]

Just be you. Any trucker worth his mustache will blow you for your personality.

 

[JohnE]

Jeebus, sack up and get on the bike. If you go out, go out hard...if you live through it, you are truly invicible.

 

[DirtyMike]

You have to stop going away for so long....

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

I was hoping the last vote option would be winning

Awesome man, can't wait to hear your account of it.

 

[gonefirefightin]

Awesome man, can't wait to hear your account of it.

thanks man. I am pretty stoked about it since last year I was able to hold a 20mph average just goofing around so it will be interesting what I can hold on a steady training schedule, Diet and nutrition plan.

my only question at the mean time is my builds (sram or shimano) and where to set up shop in cali for good weather and training grounds

 

[lovebunny]

shimano ultegra 6700 and set up shot in san diego!
