wow...

what an exiting week. Since Monday all I've been able to do is build a pair of wheels and work. Yeah, work, it's the way I like to prep for a 30+ mile race. Climbing a ladder, hanging like a monkey from building steel, and driving a scissors lift around a new 90,000 square foot Gander Mtn to run the control wiring to 17 roof top Heating/Air Conditioning Units. 12 hrs Weds, 10 hrs yesterday and maybe 6 hrs Saturday. The only thing that takes the sting away is after 8 hrs I'm on time and a half and Saturday is all time and a half. I'm thinking new rims (again) and Avid Juicy 7's. I'll ride tonight since I'm nearer the house and there won't as much windshield time.

At this rate I'll be happy to repeat 7th or 8th but 10th is looking better. I'm sure Rick will win, but who will keep him company? Not I.
