Despite TSA's Best Efforts...

... I made it back into the country. Italy and Croatia were great, but I am glad to be back and ready to get on the bike. I rode bikes twice on the trip, and will post pictures soon.

I did the team ride last night. There was a huge group, which kept the pace low. I contested a few sprints, but it was cleat that the legs were not fully functional. I started cramping up almost right from the get-go. I didn't feel terrible, I just didn't feel great. Hopefully, it's nothing that a few hundred miles won't cure.

After the ride, food was grilled and beer was poured. After three weeks of Italian beer, the Founder's really hit the spot.

More riding in store for the rest of the week, with some singlespeed action Thursday and a rode hundie on Saturday. Next race: Lumberjack. I owe that race, and I plan to pay in full.

I see a Axe trophy in your future. Remember no are warmers just big gears!!! (don't take my advice I've never done a 100 mile race)

I can't spell arm.

Snob,

Gear choice: I'm looking at 2:1 or maybe one tooth easier on the 29er. Two teeth easier would be a pretty safe choice.

There will be free beer, but I will have an emergency/take-home sixer for you of Founder's as well...
