something to do

a cloudy morning with wet roads told of a night time shower. so i decided to wait until the roads dried out a bit before going for my bike ride. they dried out really quite quickly so at around 11 i took off. an hour and a half, with a bit of short sprints.


along the way

came home. cleaned up. ate some lunch, then went down to help set up the race course.
i helped out first with setting up metal barriers that are on every corner and a quite a bit of straigh too (its a loop). i got to ride around on the back of the truck while driving from place to place. quite entertaining, and those of us on the back got really weird looks whenever going by someone. after this we set up the drink and food area. i even got to carry tables just like the past summers...oh boy!
standing around waiting for the first race to start i found out i had been registered for todays race! i declined racing flat out cause i was in no racing shape tonight. not much eaten and i had already ridden. i am also registered for tomorrow so dont worry!
after that little bit of confusion the womans race started. i watched that for a bit, then watched the first bit of the mens race, but i was hungry and really had to pee so i came home.
after peeing i made and ate a whole lot of speghetti. hopefully i am going to be charged up for tomorrow! althought the race starts at 2:15 so ive got some time.

Jake, could you get some kind person to get photos of you actually racing? sounds like you're in good form. plan on missing any classes to catch some Giro?
