Day before & half of Day 1 VotS
Team Rico was at my house Thursday morning by 6:00 am. After loading up the race van with all of our gear we got rolling. The drive was mostly uneventful, besides missing I-17 and driving around Flagstaff for a bit. We thought maybe we'd do our ride there, but it was cold. So we decided to bust it so we could pre-ride the TT course. Made it there just in time to get a great pre-ride in before the sunset. I was feeling very good and Rico was going fast and looking fast. After catching some tasty Italian food, we headed for the Motel 666 and messed with some wheels and turned it out for the night.
Right now we're sitting in Paradise Cafe...a far cry from Motel 666...drinking coffee and water, eating EFS bars and thinking about going fast. Miatchaslav registered late and is racing the geezers so he has to go early. Curly was driving down late last night. Hopefully he made it! Rico is waiting to jump online. He's been working on troubleshooting his wireless card to no avail. Miatchaslav should be warming up about now. I think we'll try to get out there before he rolls. Update to follow later today...maybe. Possibly with photos...maybe.
As an aside, it looks like Marek needs some new music...and RB needs to eat something.
