It's been a while since I wrote anything but i'm trying to change that. This last saturday at four o'clock began the annual 24 hour Velo Vulture put on by Damien and friends. Man, i had no idea what i was getting into. Alex and i teamed up to take 8th after a relatively grueling 24 hours of solid riding and no sleep (except for alex who finished it off with a four hour nap, but whatever) Over all i logged in very close to 95 miles but it felt like more, let me tell you. The afternoon, evening, night, morning midday, and following afternoon took me everywhere from SE Flavel drive to Rocky butte at 90 something and Fremont to St. Johns to Swan Mart up Barbur blvd [and into our backyard kiddie pool at around 2:45 AM.
It all payed off in the end with a good story, good company, and a prize of a Castelli winter jersey with fuzzy micro fleece lining that i will cherish in not too long as fall sets its cold fingers on our lovely city.
In all, it was great. There is no way i'd ever do it again... until next year.
