The Armpit

I was in Reno all damn week for the big S 2007 product launch. I must say that city is by far the biggest whole in the earth I have ever had the unpleasure of being in for a week. 6 days in the Silver Legacy Casino breathing smoke and not seeing the sun. I felt as if time had slowed to a crawl. Luckly I got out on the bike a couple times and caught a ride up to Tahoe and rode the fat tires up there. Nothing special after you have ridden Park City your whole life but it was nice to let the lungs rest for a bit. The bikes and product look good so it should be another big year for the S. I got an early start this morning hitting the road for PC and the E100 relay at 4:30 am. I got the 6am slot on the team which was the best stage but waking up that early has got me draggin right now. I pulled off a great ride coming in 10 minutes over the next best team and 5th overall with the E50 guys. I hope the boys can hold on to that lead! Sly was killin it early. I stayed with him for a while but faded late in the climb. I hope he takes the big W on that 20 lb full suspension bike. I am all signed up for the Draper crit this evening so I betta get some shut eye so I can actually keep the bike upright. It should be hot as hell and hard as ever. Last year was also a hot one and not very fun. I am soooooo happy to be back home and really missed the family. The girls greated me at the airport with a "missed you Daddy" sign........It was the best thing I had seen for a while. I am off to bed once I get them rascals asleep for their nap.
