Yeah, I wouldn't probably travel across the country just to do it... But I also wouldn't have $420k riding on it either.

I assume he’s using a thick chamois? Are there better saddles to help?

Yeah he has cycling shorts with padding. I’m sure there are better ones, but he says it’s helping.

I’m helping to captain registration, so look for me in the captain volunteer shirt hopefully not baking in that tent. 🙂

If he hasn't picked out a route yet, I'd highly recommend the Erie canal trail

Thanks for the idea. We’ll probably do some flat land down in Payson/Spanish fork near utah lake. Local, flat, support

I believe you are doing an FTP test w/o knowing it. His FTP is just really low.

Might switch to Sunday since I can be there then. We'll see. I'll let you know what he's feeling. Thanks!

Nice progress. For that much, I'd quit my job and work full time on it for sure!
