Goo!

Goos Goos and More Goos.

I am all fueld up. I poured over the calculations for weeks and determined that 16 GOOS, 1 banana, and 1 trail crunch bar will provide the optimum fuel levels for 100 miles. I will be riding for approximately 7 hours. If I follow the history of my goo experience, I "eat" (eat is a fluffy term when dealing with Goos because it's an absolute lie - they are not food) 1 packet of goo every 30 minutes. I will consume 14 goos in 7 hours if I keep a pace of every 30 minutes. Instead, I took up 16 packets because I plan to combine my water bottles with the Goos. I will empty two packets into one bottle. My bike can carry two bottles - THANKS FOR MIKE KEOUGH!! (He had the foresight that I would need a 2nd holder last summer! What a guy!) For each 25 miles, I will have 2 Goos within each water bottles (4 total for 25 miles) so this figures to 16 goos inside of me for 100 miles. Yikes! The calculations add up, but it sounds like a lot of nothing (or too much) to me. And, that reminds me - I need to bring/buy some salt for the journey. My stomach usually gets funny with too many Goos - but how else is someone suppose to avoid bonking. I know...with Goos, Salt, and Cookies.


I absolutely hit the jack pot when I stopped by Sports Authority on my way home from work. Lots of places offer Goos, but I need variety. My prayers were answered.
SO MANY CHOICES


With all this fuel, I might just bike home from Foxborough!

Nerves are starting a little more now, although, I am much more confident than last week. Also, I did not check the weather report until today and it keeps getting worse and worse each time. Either way, I am rolling out at 7AM on Saturday morn! It will be clear for me - I know it!
