Finally.

The San Dimas Stage Race (SDSR) starts tomorrow. Finally. I'm really psyched to finally go and do this thing. I've had a pretty mellow week on the bike, except some wicked aggressive riding on tuesday morning. Mellow all the way. Rode once this morning, for an hour, then rode 2 hours in the afternoon. Nice. Gentle, even.

The team's got some great numbers. We're fielding a full six dudes. All of them solid. None of them deadweights. That's the most people i've ever raced with in a non-collegiate race. So the stages are as follows: 4 mile uphill TT tomorrow, 90mile RR on Saturday, then a 60 minute crit on Sunday. Fastest cumulative time wins. Sprint Jersey, KOM Jersey, also up for grabs. It's fun to envision winning everything: GC, Sprints, KOM. That'd be a grand way to end my time in the 2s. But we'll see. Gotta do well tomorrow, first.

I feel good. The bike received a new chain today, and it's ready to go. 11-21 for tomorrow's TT. Should be plenty. Gonna do an hour or so in the morning, to get the legs opened up. The TT isn't 'till 2:41:30. Ahhhhhhhhhh, too psyched, that's why this entry's a bit abrupt. I'll definitely update as the race progresses. Wish me well...forecast calls for PM showers...that's rain ANYTIME between 12:01 and 11:59. Fantastic.
