Old Pueblo almost here

Well, a week from now I will be in Arizona getting ready for the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo. The weather is looking favourable....almost to dry, but compared to last years rain I'll take it. It looks like we'll stay over on the Friday night as we are attending a BBQ in honour of Tinker Juarez. Should be fun hearing some of his stories.

I think we might go down on Thursday to get our campsite as it fills up very fast. Pre-ride that day as well and then head back to Scottsdale for the night and pick up all the stuff we need.

I got all of my Recover-Ease samples so the next time I see any of you I will give you some. Hopefully the team kit and casual wear will arrive soon. I doubt before the race but hopefully by March.

So I am starting to intrigued by the whole 29er scene. Since I am pretty tall it might just suit me. Time will tell. I need all the help I can get.....Especially given my competition at the 24 Hours of Summer Solstice as a solo rider. Also, I am now signed up to do the 24 Hours of Hot August nights as a 2 man team...we going up against a bunch of old guys so it shouldn't be much of a problem lapping them multiple times through out the race.

Ha! Better watch out when you pass some of those old guys. Those walking sticks that we use off the bike come in handy in certain situations.
Good luck down south. Let us know how you do.
