We didn’t get done racing until early evening yesterday. Then the 450 mile drive back. So, I have about 4 hours sleep now. I am going to the airport this morning to pick up Trudi. She’s been in Greenville at the US Pro Road Championships and has a few weeks off before the Tour. I’ll catch up on the weekend this afternoon hopefully. Lots of stuff to write about. Getting dropped out of a 20 man “break” when not even winded. Getting nearly strip searched and having to submit to a breathalyzer when I was told upfront that I wasn’t getting a ticket. Staying the whole weekend with someone with walking pneumonia and another guy super sick. Boy, so much excitement I can hardly wait to do it myself.
