36 Hours

Tent, sleeping bag, and pad
are already in Durango.

I am having trouble concentrating.  In 37 hours I will be boarding a plane to Durango Colorado for a week of mountain biking bliss.

I have pre-shipped my tent, sleeping bag, pad, and a big honkin' tube of chamois butt'r to Durango.  I have charged three cameras and wiped ten memory cards.

These are the parts
where my body
touches the bike

I have taken my last ride.

I have packed my favorite bike seat, grips, and pedals.  You see these are the parts where my body will be touching the bike.  My body doesn't have the time or the inclination to "get acquainted" with new contact points.  Not when riding singletrack seven hours per day for five days.

I have packed all my gear and tonight will unpack and pack it again (my roll-on is over the size limit, so I am preparing to have roll-on confiscated).

I pickup SF at 4:30am Tuesday morning and we roll into our next big adventure.

I am stoked.
