We've been doing 30 minute legs all day and it has been working great. The weather was AWESOME - mildly warm (threateningly hot) this morning, with an overcast afternoon that kept things cool.
It's actually looking like there will be a Race Across Oregon this year. Assuming that nothing major changes on the Coronavirus front, the FAsT Monkeys will be doing a social distancing 444 mile loop around some of our favorite spots in Central/Eastern Oregon in mid-July. Fingers-crossed, it would be great to get out and do some non-virtual racing!
Jason rode the first 28 unsupported, then we swapped in Rich and began 20min rider rotations. We're thru Time Station 1 and making good time. It's weird being in the thick of things with some of the 2x Teams and one of the 4x riding in the same general area. Last year we were (barely) the last ones into the spot where vehicle support begins and never saw another team after that.
The Monkeys are planning to ride this year's 20th Anniversary Race Across Oregon. This year the route is actually across Oregon, beginning in Ontario, OR (on the border with Idaho) and finishing in Newport, OR (on the coast). More miles @621'ish, but quite a bit less climbing at just under 33k. Sounds like a good trade! The team roster is coming together, preparatory suffering is occurring both indoors and out, and the Monkeys are getting ready to ride again! The Cave all set up for some indoor training
