Today was a bit of a washout. I awoke to a light drizzle, wet streets, and a very green radar image, so rather than ride I got into the gasburner and hit up the local Starbucks. Until late afternoon the day was just a grey, soggy, hazy mess. I did manage to get the Rocktoberfest event permit submitted and approved, thanks to the kind folks up in Colorado Springs, and in particular Beth Vialpando. Say what you will about USA Cycling, these folks are amazing, especially when things are running late and all fouled up and yet they somehow manage to remain positive and still make things happen.
So anyway, my legs should at least be rested for tomorrow's Giro de Brandon road race up in Jackson. I'll have to be on the road by around 4 am tomorrow in order to get there in time. I suppose I could have driven up there tonight, but then I would have missed a nice little dinner at Figaro's on Maple Street. The road race on Saturday should be kind of unusual. The weekend is a 2-race omnium, and to make things even more complicated, there's a hot spot on every lap of the road race that's worth about as much as the finish. Weird. It will likely make for a very defensive race where everybody is focused on the hot spot. Personally, I'm hoping the same person wins all of them, so at least the playing field will be level for everyone else for Sunday's criterium. Since I have to get up in about five hours, I guess I'd better get some sleep.....
