ianukWork was kinda crazy but manageable. I did not have the brain drain of the day before and the afternoon coasted by. Got home, had a snack and then headed to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
american_knight's for the El Tour drive and packet pick up.
The route is a lot of hills...mostly up until about the 42 mile mark for the 66 mile ride. A bit daunting but I think our team will do fine and make it just fine. Our goal is 1)Don't crash, 2) cross the finish line by hopefully 3pm and 3) if we can't cross the line it better be from mechanical failure. Took us quite a while to drive the route and its really twisty to get the mileage. Please see El tour Route to avoid the traffic snarls on Saturday morning and afternoon. Please be kind, courteous and just don't drive on the route if you can help it. And pass the word on. Thanks.
Got to go to the expo and I drooled over the Giant women's racing bikes. Wow. Plus they had adjustable shifters that fit my hand and let me shift while off the saddle. Wow. Very awesome. I'll be looking at those next year. Hopefully someone local has them.
After dinking around the expo and getting the safety briefing which was pretty helpful we headed to barrio for a quick beer and dinner. Got home about 10pm and then it was time for bed. I had weird bike related dreams (go figure) but I slept pretty good. I was cold again this morning and still warming up.
Got meetings and FRB and a section meeting with the new section. Should be interesting. Well, on to things. Hope to get out of here on time to get a short ride in and then work on bikes and projects tonight. I have the need to cast on something new.
