I spoke with JJ and he had already pulled the trigger to race at Pats Peak this weekend, so I followed suit. We're both racing the 12 hour version solo, so that should be fun. A good chance to get a bit of a shake down prior to the 24HOGG.

Then this Thursday we haver our little race up at Great Glen for the weekly series- I'll looking forward to getting a bit closer to the fast boys. I think if I can stay upright and have a bit better legs then a 23 is possible, I'd love to get into the high 22's but I think that may be a touch out of my reach.

The tour is on and I have to say I'm getting into it. A crazy sprint by Robbie yesterday and a 1-2 for Quickstep today- yup I do love watching bike racing. I had thought about not watching it because I've been so sick of the doping stories- but watching the racing I remembered just how beautiful it is to watch.

Time to start stock piling on sleep.

later,
