my car, the old work horse
Introduction
The MS150 was April 20–21 in Texas. I don't usually get back into good biking shape so early in the year. Either I had to change my routine or do the MS150 in relatively poor shape. Changing my routine would mean biking a lot in cold weather (something of which I do plenty already during my 30–mile a week commute) or using the fitness center exercise machines (which I dislike preferring to be out in the great outdoors). Biking without adequate preparation would mean disappointing the group with whom I planned to ride and enjoying myself less. I had initially thought to make my 2002 roadtrip one out to the west coast perhaps abandoning my aging car in the Pacific Ocean as its final resting place, but a number of problems prevented this from happening.
