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.
