Gravel Training Plans

-

Did you win the DK200 lottery?   Congratulations!  Now what? How are you going to complete this daunting task?  Or maybe you have an eye on other monster gravel races/rides.... or maybe considering your first?  Over my last eight years of gravel riding, logging thousands of miles each year,  I have learned that success is achieved by good planning, to learn from others mistakes, and don't be afraid to ask someone with first hand experience. Hope is not a good strategy.

Are you interested in a training plan or would a personalized custom plan designed to fit your goals, experience, time available, and your life be a good choice?  I have several options to choose from and I would love to be your Coach!  In June 2016, I completed my 5th DK200, breaking up the boys club and receiving the coveted 1000 mile Goblet. This past year I finished my 6th consecutive and knocked an hour off my best time.
Very simply,  I know what it takes to get to the finish line and I have gained a huge passion for the sport.

The best goals are written down. They are specific, personal, and measurable.  Whether you are in for the 50, 100, or the 200 miler+, I can help you reach your goal. I am a coach at Sally Drake Endurance Coaching (SDEC), specializing in Gravel and Mountain bike endurance events.

Simple Tips To Survive Epic Adventures

-

My husband, myself, and our daughter The three of us recently returned from an absolutely epic adventure. This trip was a bucket list item and a great way to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary.  My hubby, 13 year old daughter and myself would be driving to Yellowstone National Park, a mere 1300 miles +/- from our MO home and spend two weeks traveling from one beautiful place to another.  Having purchased a new Subaru Outback in March we couldn't think of a better way to break it in. We also invested in the Sandpiper style ROOFNEST , a great investment in what we do. Check out their website, they have several different models. Jim and I would sleep on top of the car and our teen would sleep in the Subaru (She would be sleeping like a princess... on a puffy air mattress, two pillows, and several fleece blankets).  We purchased a portable  dehumidifier  pack to keep condensation off the windows and slipped an air freshener under the seat to ...

Nothing Grows In The Comfort Zone

"All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them".  -Walt Disney Comfort zone:  A place or situation where one feels safe or at ease without stress.  I hate to admit this but I am completely ruled by my habits and my routines.  By having these habits and routines I have made my life very comfortable, very safe and easy. In fact, I have made it too comfortable.  One day this past January I had a thought... My life is cozy like a warm fuzzy blanket from the dryer, it's become too casual and too small.  As humans we are wired to be creatures of comfort, enjoy what feels good, settle in and relax. Once we get comfortable we tend to forget to try new things.  I have forgotten to try new things, especially those I am fearful of. That is why I want to step it up a notch, Hell, step it up two notches.  Keep in mind that what may be uncomfortable for me might not invoke the same feelings in you.  We are all different when it ...

Lauf Grit Takes On The DK200

This post almost got lost. I found it in the archives and thought it would be good to post since my Warbird is still rockin' the Lauf Grit fork.  I LOVE IT!   Dear Guys and Gals at Lauf, First of all I want to thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your Dirty Dozen Team.  You all sure hand picked a STELLAR group of individuals to represent the Lauf Grit Garvel Fork! I can say that with confidence because I know most of the Dirty Dozen personally. In fact, I finished my 1st DK200 with Chad (in 2012), a couple years I was able to ride with Bobby (until he got speedy), Chris and I rode together last year and finished within a few minutes of each other (and I know his wife), Don B. is a good friend and magnificent cheerleader (going for a Goblet!), Jimmy is a first-rate fella I have ridden with at a couple DK's and sadly one year I passed him 'relaxing" in a ditch. What's really COOL is that there were FIVE on this team going for Goblets (the DK200 5x award)! ...
