RAO eve

The Flying Aquarians are in Hood River!

We passed inspection (bikes, signage, lighting, proof of insurance) and are officially on the roster for tomorrow AM. The crew is off on a shopping spree for crew food and a few last minute team supplies, Lauren and I are resting up a bit and just plain unwinding. It's been a very busy week. (as demonstrated by my slowness in getting my STP photos uploaded from last week!)

I've got some photos of today's pre RAO activities but my crew chief has the van keys and my SD card reader is in the van so........... check back on Tuesday to see a few photos of today's activities.

The crew will be taking photos and notes as well as the more usual support duties so expect a multimedia presentation when this is all over with.

We have a ride meeting in 15 minutes and will hear some last minute reminders and be able to meet our competition.

The crew will be icing down drinks later tonight as those of us pedaling will be getting some early bedtime orders.

Tomorrow the Flying Aquarians will take off on a 536 mile, 40,000 ft of elevation gain bike race! Yup, we are just crazy enough to think this kind of thing is FUN!
