Rode the tt course today, pretty good course.  Wide open and rolling until the last 5km when things get a bit disco.  Some tight corners and a few steep climbs, should make things interesting.  Toss in wind and rain and the winner may be someone who rides a technically sound race.  My prediction?  Zabriskie, McCartney, Wherry, Baldwin, and VanUlden.  On a stellar day I may have a shot of cracking that top 5.

Saw Saul Raisin at dinner this evening, he was just departing the restaurant with his parents.  Was able to  chat with him for a minute.  Very nice to see him on his feet and in good spirits.  After his crash and subsequent brain damage a few months ago I am ecstatic to see him up and about so quickly.  I hope to ride with him Saturday morning.

National Championships in the South at the height of hurricane season? Genius.

First off, catch the Boulder Cruiser bike ride weekly at Scott Carpenter Park at 7:30. Year round. Stay tuned via the cruiser web site for the weekly theme. Me? I go weekly in full Cutter kit.
