I found out yesterday that the plan for Sunday's race has changed. We were originally supposed to be doing the 6 hour race as a team of three (I think). Now I'm going to be doing it solo.
I was so excited yesterday that I thought I'd go for a longish ride after work to test my legs. I ended up doing the same ride as I did with Tom the first day that he came up - a 50 mile ride taking in some of the biggest hills in the area. I got round in just under three hours and felt fine.
The ride itself was really nice - absolutely perfect weather and amazing scenery. One of the really nice parts was that as I got to top of the last hill I looked over to see the sun setting over the huge hills I had already ridden up a couple of hours earlier.
One thing I must bear in mind for Sunday, though, is how tired I was once i'd got off the bike. After 15 minutes at home I felt ready to close my eyes for a bit - even talking seemed to be too much effort. It'll be interesting to see how I cope riding twice as long on Sunday.
