My sick fascination with pain is being put to the test on Saturday. Not even 2 weeks since my spill on the bike path, I will be joining my friends to do a 50-mile ride in Mexico. The ride starts off in Rosarito and ends in Ensenada. Rosarito seems to be another name for Tijuana, which I'm not sure they did it intentionally. Perhaps "Tijuana to Ensenada" doesn't quite have the same cachet. Regardless, the event is touted as a "Fun Ride," so while there are avid cyclists who will be in it, the course is meant to accommodate the casual and recreational riders as well.
To be honest, this ride would've been pretty easy had I not been injured. I'm about 75-80% recovered, but I will have to take it easy for most of the ride. Despite the challenges, I am looking forward to it and I'm thinking that this could be something to get me into thinking about doing a century ride some time next year. But maybe I'll upgrade my bike before starting training for a century. Anyone feel particularly magnanimous to buy me a Bianchi or a Cannondale?
