And the off season is on. Mexico wrapped up really well for the team with Steve taking a damn impressive solo victory on Saturday and the rest of us shattering the race on the one little bump of the day with 20k to go and jumping Timmy up a few spots on the GC. Sunday was essentially a crit and then began the long travel home…even though it wasn’t really very far. Thanks for those great flights Chihuahua! ugh. Monday 11.30pm finally got home (what could have been a sub-2 hour direct flight was not) and crashed.

I’m already back at it in the yard and it is unbeliveably nearing completion. Wednesday next week is drop dead done date. We’re off for a little vacation and Pete Lopinto’s wedding down in Mexico and everything is going to be done by the day we leave…somehow:) Today however is going to be scratch with a little bachelor party action likely impacting quality work. Congrats PLO!

Other than the yard action I’m looking forward to, well, not doing much. Getting out on the mountain bike a bit, hiking, running, eating, and taking the wee break that is fit in to the schedule. Our first camp of 08 starts up on the 8th of november and looking at the calendar it is coming up fast.
