I tried once, a few months ago. I failed.

Autopsy was unclear but I my five hours of sleep + Clif bar made my stomach hurt in a way where I didn’t want to push through.

I’ve always wanted redemption. This time I am fairly motivated to sleep enough the night before, and push through. I’m a little behind on CS homework though so I might go to bed too late.

It’s 18 miles but that doesn’t scare me. I’ve done 30. What does scare me is the elevation profile. 650 ft climb. I hate uphills. We’re going up Sand Hill Road way past Hwy 280, and that’s so much uphill. In the past when I’ve gotten to 280 I’ve already felt drained.

The cycling club is very friendly, and it’s a no drop ride so they won’t leave me behind for being too slow, but they’re all very intense at biking so I will probably be the slowest, and that may hurt psychologically. I have been unable to convince a friend to come with me this week.

Anyway, resolves YES if I wake up in time and complete the full ride. Resolves NO if I decide to sleep in, skip it, or quit for any reason.

General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.
