Last weekend we decided to ride this years ULCER that starts at Thanksgiving Point and goes around Utah Lake and finishes again at Thanksgiving Point. The course was a total of 103 miles of mostly flat roads. This was our first century ride last year and we probably over-trained at the time thinking that is was going to be "so hard" but it ended up not being bad at all so this year we signed up at the last minute without stressing about it too much. I recommend this century to anyone who has a goal of doing one for the first time. It's so well run with plenty of food and it's nice and flat with pretty scenery. Jen and I stayed together the whole time and we had fun chatting about the funny riders around us. This was us getting ready to go:
I could feel a cold coming on as we rode this and by the next day it had gotten worse. I'm headed to the doctor today because it's gone down into my chest and I have a hard century ride this weekend and I don't think I can do it in my current condition. This weekend's ride is called "The Tour of Utah's Ultimate Challenge" and yes I know, it sounds very dramatic but its going to be tough. It's 100 miles with 4 good climbs totaling about 10,000 of elevation gain. I'll post about it once its done. Hopefully I'll feel better by then.
