La Rutaaaa ohhhhh that hurts


This morning i finally got registered for La Ruta the toughest race on the planet( so they say and i heard from many others that are not joking ).Had supper with Don Sissions on the weekend and he is pumped and ready to roll.I think he has a great chance at winning the veterans cat.The first day sounds nasty with over 5000 meters of vertical.We're looking at a 8 to 10 hr day just to warm up and with the heat out there it should be a barrel of laughs.I think i am going to roll with some hard tail action out there considering the amount of climbing there is going to be.The race is 4 days but we are going to spend 2 weeks there.I joked with Don that we could rent bikes after the race but he said forget about it,i think we will just get drunk and pass out on the beach. One thing i am looking for is a bike travel case (hard shell) if anybody knows where i could buy or rent one ( used ) let me know.
