Who’s In? I’ll be there, @Jonathan said he’s in. Should be a good time. I’m going to be tuning up for the rest of my XCM calendar, so riding my Scalpel 2 to work on positioning for those long traverses, and trying to get over the hump on fueling. I’m actually going to sign up with a sports dietician and see if we can find out what’s missing or why things are going wrong after hour 4. ---

Is there a category where you get time bonuses based on how many excuses you can make for poor performance and/or complaints about missing gravel spirits? I kid, I kid … 😉 ---

“I’m on an XC bike and this is just prep for another race.” That’s my excuse. ---

> [@webdev511](#): > > I’m on an XC bike and this is just prep for another race.” That’s my excuse. BTW … my snarky comment was aimed at Stetina, not you. Just in case that wasn’t clear. I should know better than to be sarcastic on the internet. ---

Welp the long course is what I signed up for and it’s gonna be a challenge for sure. XCM bike for sure since the places a gravel bike would be better aren’t timed. > **[2024 Paydirt](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42712209)** > > 69.2 mi, +4852 ft. Bike ride in Douglas County, NV ---

You know you’re in for a day, when @Jonathan posts this about Paydirt. My response back was “So you need to do the TR ‘Disaster’ workout to prep for this?” What have I gotten myself into? (I keep saying that for most of the races I’ve been entering over the last 3 years. ) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/a/2/a299177c543b139ebdb2e0a02052259b684ea936.jpeg) ---

Made perfect (and humorous) sense to me!
