Mt. Lemmon

I'm arriving a day early for camp so I can do the "assault on Mt. Lemmon".

Signed up for Pac-tour camp in AZ

I signed up for a Pac-tour training camp in Arizona. Can't wait! I'll fly into Tucson a day early so I can climb Mt. Lemmon. Then it's off to Sierra Vista for "coaching" week. See www.pactour.com (This will be my 4th camp with Lon and Susan.)

I'll be riding my Ritchey Breakaway Bike!

Furnace Creek 508 in about 10 minutes!

Too much work, too little cycling

Because of work and last-minute travel, I missed the following events this year:
1) 3/4 Coburg TTs
2) Shasta Training Camp
3) Alpine Century (prepaid)
4) Lighthouse Century (prepaid)
5) Eugene Celebration Stage Race
6) Tour of Southern Utah

Better luck next year.

I have about of month of vacation accrued and the sad part is that we're no longer allowed to carry leave between years. Perhaps I'll do a month long tour in a warmer place in December!

Covered Bridge Bike Tour

On Sunday, I rode the Covered Bridge Bike Tour. Rode better than I did on the TT the day before. This time I rode my Cervelo with a Hed Alps front wheel. (Rear wheel is in the shop.) Averaged 18.1 over the course and seemed to ride well. Only a couple of people passed me, but I stayed with them and eventually got away on the rollers.

Met up with Jim Lofgren a couple of times. He rode superbly and we took turns pulling each other and managed to keep away from a paceline he had passed. After the Crabtree stop, I caught up with the group again, and instead of passing, I moved to the front and pulled them into Albany. We had a good time! ;-)
