d-day minus 3 months...

 i've been riding like crazy in the past two weeks, and this weekend will be no exception. the plan is to ride 7 hours on friday morning, and then ride 8 more hours on saturday. this will make this week a 45 hour week (including the "dead" hours in the saddle, training other people). these photos are from a little shootout i did for an upcoming article in the channel 5 website. the talented photographer is Dan Levy, my sister's husbend...
anyway- i got my frame this week, and started building it. i put on some RXL aerobars, and it looks plain strange, having a roadie's parapharnelia on my mountainbike...
pictures of the bike will be up, soon.
i've been having some trouble, deciding on the proper method of making the looooooong Tour Divide Q sheets a little shorter. i don't like the way they are now, depndant on the speedometer readings, starting at the very first km of the tour route. let's say i missed a turn, and had to ride 6 more km, by mistake...
now all the readouts of the km on the Q sheets are wrong (!!)
there is a better way of writing it, but it will take forever. i need to pay someone who'll do it for me. any volunteers? thought so...
