There's the Hoka Hey Challenge! This year's route mentions travel within the Arctic Watershed and almost to Mexico. The goal is 7,000 miles in 7 days. There are four levels of Challengers, based on finish time and adherence to the route. My thought is to stretch it to the awards ceremony two weeks after the start. I could squeek two weeks in between the Hunter Mountain and Peach festivals ... Rosie and I need to be prepared, physically and spiritually! At the very least, I'll make a nice 700 mile loop to the start.
Eanie, Meanie, Minee, Mo ... Such is the stuff of the winter doldrums. Planning rides for the summer, deciding which ones fit in the overall schedule of life, and preparing for them.
