After the ride home I refueled and showered before heading out to Standing Rocks for a scheduled day of trail work as eight of us raked about five miles of singletrack to try and get the trails ready for opening day on May 1st. Less than two weeks before the Trans Iowa race. Training has been good and I do have a better idea of what I'm carrying and how I'm going to keep my body from shutting down over the 322 mile event. Just before the event I'll post what the final bike set-up will look like with pictures and a list of what I'll carry throughout the self-supported event. This next Tuesday will be my last long training ride as time and distance on the bike will begin to decrease as I start my taper. Pedal on...
