Pre-ride jitters and the last minute check list!

Hi everyone,

Tuesday was an incredible last minute rush trying to get everything done in order.

First of all, thank you to all the “donors” and thank you to all the blood centers I’ve been hearing from recently.  I’m in awe at the incredible work you do on a daily basis! 

Thanks to Chris at PK Racing who was able to finish the “bike fit” with the minimum of difficulty, making sure the bike fit the body, etc.

Thanks to DJ & Mitch @ SR Cyclery who did his best to make sure the LiteSpeed was in tip top condition and the wheels were in “true” form for the 50 day trip ahead.

It’s hard to keep track of all the “last minute” items that have to be done to make life on the road a lot easier, and I’ve found out the hard way … once you’re on the road, you can’t go back to pick up the missing items!

Thanks to Jack, Charlie, Jackie and my cycling friends who wished me farewell and good luck!

A special prayer for my 90 year old cycling buddy, Lynn McClintock and his wife, Ranie! (Lynn is going in for microscopic back surgery next week to fix a pinched nerve.)  He says he’ll be back riding again by 1Jul08.  What an incredible mentor and inspiration to all of us who have ridden with him!

Just a little update to say hello.

Larry F.
