September Ambitions

• I want to continue my hill climbing routine with a major hill ride of around 8,000 feet of climbing.
• Get in a really long ride, I'm thinking a down and back to San Marcos. Depending on the route it looks like it'd be about 140 miles. As alluring as competing in the 12 hour event at the Texas Time Trials is the 160 mile drive up to Cleburn makes the ride to San Marcos a bit more appealing.
• Ride the Tour de Florence, metric century route.
• Cut weight to 180 lbs (4 pounds)
