I'm doing an eighty mile training ride tomorrow to prepare for my first century.

I'm riding out to my parents' house in Moorpark via a big roundabout route. The distance doesn't worry me so much as a the Santa Susana Pass does!

I'm leaving around 6am, I'm all packed up and prepared, and got my bike tuned up last week. But I'm so nervous I couldn't finish my giant bowl of spaghetti dinner, and that's saying a lot since I eat like a horse.

Wish me luck and thank you for the inspiration and assistance you guys provide. My life has truly improved since I got on my bike.

You guys are my faves and I hope I get to meet all of you one day!

Have a wonderful weekend : }

Wow.. didn't realize how narrow SSP got looking through Google maps. You'll do great!! Just rest when you need, keep those snacks handy, and lube up! Do girls have to lube up? Are you doing this by yourself? Group? Either way... major props!
