Yikes, what have I done? I was kind of feeling a bit let down since 2008 was winding to an end. I did more ultra distance riding this year than any year in the past. But I was not sure what I wanted to do in 2009. I was not sure I even wanted to do another double century. But I couldn’t resist. Gary F. called me and said he was doing the Death Valley Double and had just signed up. This event is put on by the same people who put on the Furnace Creek 508 ride and it covers some of the same roads. I know this event sells out in hours so I had to decide quickly if I was going to do it. As I said, I could not resist. I am not quite sure how I am going to get ready during the winter for such a tough ride at the end of February. Oh my, what have I done?

You can see from these charts that although I have biked a LOT of miles and climbed a lot of feet this year, it has really tapered off with the vacation and such. I am not sure I can ramp it up until January, which is too close to the event.
