Leaving Durango again!

I threw up a few photos of the Texas Creek area ride that I did a few days ago. It has been hot again but nothing like back east. The dry hot is so much better than the hot with humidity. I am looking forward to racing but not to the heat and humidity. I am not a big fan of the east coast, sorry to offend anyone.
I have to leave Durango bright and early on Thursday morning. The only ticket that I could find not over $1000 was out of Farmington at 6:00 am which means I have to leave here at like 4:30! Snap! Not a good way to start off a month of racing, tired and cracked from traveling all day.
It has been great being home hitting up Burger Night at the Palace and the group rides with a little Bread bakery in the morning...mmmmm! My new favorite place to hang out and watch the Tour is down at Carvers. They have great breakfast and it is cheap and no one is in there eating breakfast while wearing a chamois. At Bread there are a bunch of people who chamois up for a ten minute ride to the bakery and sit there all day in there chamois drinking coffee and eating muffins and then they ride home. It cracks me up.
The weather here has been super hot. I have been doing double days of hard training and today I am doing another hard day to finish the last hard effort before heading out East. I will hit up the group ride and surely get crushed because I am wounded from the past couple days of hard training. Tuesday Worlds is pretty much a hard race and I think guys in Durango try to peak on Tuesday. I know allot of them treat it as race day. They have 5 shots of espresso and make sure that they eat their race meal. I am surprised that they don't have someone out there to feed them in a feedzone or something.
The ball is rolling big time for the cross race this fall on campus. I met with some Fort Lewis College Administrators yesterday to make sure that the course was approved. It is looking like a go. Now we are working on drumming up the prize money and the beer tent sponsor. The course is going to be awesome. Troy Wells and I designed it so of course it is going to be awesome! It comes in and out of the Football stadium 3 times and will probably run through the beer garden with barriers possible inside the beer tent. It isn't totally official and as soon as we get prize money we will be sending out flyers. If we get the money we are after it is going to be a huge payout! Stay tuned, cross season is just around the corner!
