You know I live for a challenge. My friend Rachelle and I signed up for our first GFNY race, the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship 2027, which takes place May 16, 2027.

It’s 85.1 miles, 6,381 ft of elevation gain, and a 12.4% max grade. We get to be pros for a day because this is some pro ish. 😂

I haven’t come up with a training plan just yet, but I will start training soon, before it gets too cold out because ya girl does not like cycling in the cold. I also don’t care to ride on my trainer, so I will try to train outside for as long as I can before I have to hop on my trainer.

I will also have to figure out training if I go to LA for work again. That would be nine weeks without my bike. I can rent a bike, but that seems like it could be costly. I’ll figure something out. My friend Serena let me hold her bike while I was there a few years ago, which was really nice of her, so maybe I can ask her to borrow her bike for a week or two.

Anyway, I will figure it out.

In the meantime, I have to start getting a training plan together. I’ll ask about AI, and I just downloaded TrainingPeaks, so maybe I can get a plan or some ideas for a training plan from there, I always also buy a training plan from GFNY, as well as look at different YouTube videos from folks who have done it.

I’ll follow up with what that plan actually is, so stay tuned. If you have any advice, please share it. I need all the help I can get! 😂
