Ride Interview – Katy Flatland Century 2016 – Katy, Texas (July 17)

www.wheelbrothers.com

On the surface of it, doesn’t the very notion of being in charge of rounding up volunteers for any large-scale event sound like a thankless task? Sure it does.
But don’t tell that to Barbara Wu, volunteer coordinator for Houston’s Northwest Cycling Club for 5½ years. Her mission takes her where few dare to go and she loves it!
With five major cycling events every year plus 52 Saturday morning club rides, there’s plenty on her plate. That’s because NWCC is one of the largest and most active cycling clubs in the country. And one of the best – it was …

Day 33: Blast!
Monday May 9, 2016, 125 km (78 miles) – Total so far: 1,614 km (1,003 miles)
Cheyenne had told me that she was going to get up early, and if I wanted to tag along that I had better get up early too. I’m still a lazy bum in the mornings, and especially when you have little animals keeping you awake all night. Not to mention the trains.
Also the night before I had once again decided not to use my sleeping pad to save time in the morning. It’s really comfortable but I don’t always use it because I’m not fast at packing it. Sleeping without it is ok as long as it’s not too cold, and as long as there aren’t any weird deformations nor rocks directly where I’m sleeping. Which of course there were some disturbing rocks that night.
