one small step for mankind, but a giant step for man

We had another 2" of snow last evening. Still an inch of it around this morning. While looking out the window at cars creeping along on the ice and snow I've been thinking of hot desert bike rides.

gulp..... just got this back in my email:

Hello Athlete-Adventurer!

Thank you for submitting your application to compete in the 26th Anniversary Furnace Creek 508 on October 3-5, 2009. This is a bold step you have taken and we salute you for the commitment it implies!

Due to the high volume of qualified applicants, it's unfortunate that it is impossible to invite every athlete who applies, including some race veterans. Thus, we appreciate your understanding if you are not invited this year. If that’s the case, we encourage you to support another cyclist, or team, in the race as The 508 could not go on without dedicated and competent support crews.

According to the timeline outllined on the website, we will notify you via email whether you are, or are not, confirmed to compete in the 2009 Furnace Creek 508. If you, or you and your team, are accepted to compete, you will be emailed the two-page Entrant Contract and Personal Waiver. You will have just seven days to submit the paperwork and entry fee to AdventureCORPS in order to secure your spot on the race roster.

Now the wait begins. Will the organizers deem me worthy?
