Thundercrack, Baby's Back.

Go time in half an hour. Leaving to pick up my teammate Charlie.

I'm not nearly as nervous as I usually am for road races.

We'll see what happens out there. I think the entire raccoonbear city will be out hootin' and hollerin' so if nothing else, it'll be fun.

After that going to destress a bit with some apple picking with said tRBC crew.

Will post up a report later. I'm running the MTB yet again today. The cross bike is *almost* ready. I need to re-cut one section of housing for it, adjust the dérailleurs, pick up a chain keeper, and wrap the bars. If I can get it all rideable tonight, I'll throw on some clinchers and race it tomorrow (provided I can get it out for a shakedown tonight). I'm going to spend the next few days gluing on a set of tubular tires. Should be exciting. Will post a pick when I'm done. Bike looks hot though--Equal parts heavy metal and pastel. Not quite David Bowie.

Maybe Iggy Pop.
