It was time to ride Lee Canyon again. The last time I rode it was 2005. It wasn't pretty. Someone told me to go race the Mt. Charleston Hill climb, not sure why, I didn't ride my bike regularly at that point. I took the bait and lined up with delusions of having a great time. Holy cow, it hurt so bad. I barely finished. When I got to the top, I "lost my lunch", over and over and swore to never do it again. The next year John and I got involved it the organization of the race. John has been in charge of permits and other logistics like that ever since. Then, last year the whole race was handed over to us (The Tingeys)! This year, I'm hoping to find some race day volunteers so *gasp* I can ride it! I'm voting for keeping my lunch on board at the top this year!
