After a one year hiatus from Little Red Riding Hood Century, Teri and I signed up for it again this year. Did we really get any training done in preparation for it? No, not really much at all. But we still rode it . . . well, most of it. We had to decide between riding 50 miles and 70 miles and we had to decide fairly early on in the ride - at mile 22 where the two routes split. So we decided to do 70 miles because we were too afraid that we'd come in at 50 and still have plenty of energy and therefore regret not doing the 70. We both decided we'd rather call Kelly to come rescue us while attempting to do the 70 than regret only doing 50. So we did 70. And I was dragging my wagon for the last 15 miles. But we made it! Even with our very little training. It's been real Little Red!
