This week has flown by. On Wednesday we went to the El Tour Fitness Expo to pick up our rider's packet. It has our numbers (7351 and 7352) and our little ankle race timer thingy. The expo was pretty cool. Greg got an 2009 El Tour Jersey and some cycling socks. I loaded up on Tram bars and Shot bloks at Mac's booth. We also got a lot of cute freebies from the UMC booth. Sunscreen, blinky lights, bandaids, water bottles, key chains, etc.
On Friday we went to the BTE pasta party. It was fun to hang out with all our group ride buddies...although it was pretty difficult to recognize some of them in plain clothes. I got the low down on all the hard parts of the race. Everyone says that the 66 milers (that us) have to ride the hardest part of the tour, but the only scary part I haven't ridden already is Snyder Hill. Who cares though. If I have to walk it...I walk it. Bring it on!
We head to the starting line in one hour and 15min. Wish us luck today! May the wind be at our backs and our tires never flat.
