How is the training going for everybody? I just finished two back-to-back giant weeks. I totaled 57.5 hours for the two weeks, and I felt/feel great! I can't wait for the race!
On Saturday I went to Madison to ride the course for the first time. I didn't realize it beforehand, but my drivetrain isn't adjusted properly, so I had to do without my three largest cogs. Just a note (that I'm sure everybody already knows), 42x17 is INSUFFICIENT GEARING for this course! Grinding up some of those hills at 7-8 mph with a cadence below 40 was not fun!
If you have not seen the course, I highly recommend previewing it. It has a lot of twists and turns, and I feel much more confident now that I have seen it.

Any run that doesn't include pooping in someone's front yard is a win.
