yep, still packing. taking my time, packing things up good and trying not to forget anything...
this week will be all pretty much short rides, low intensity with a short double workout tomorrow that will before and after my SQL exam. this is the second time through with the exam - hoping for the best. i think i have a shot, but i think realistically that i need some more time with it. it's finally starting to sink in and now that the season is kinda sorta wrapping up, maybe i'll have some time for my cross bike. oops. i mean, for studying microsoft SQL.
actually almost bought a nikon d70s today, but the local shop didn't have them in. they are the campus store in kent and it was crazy over there - jeez. crazy kids - i think they were all drunk or hopped up on coffee from starbucks. anyhoo, i think i may stop at two other shops tomorrow after my exam and see what kind of pricing they have and if they have any in stock. wanted to go local so if it needed servicing....
I HAVE to take a picture when i get into vancouver of the crowd of people picking people up. it's friggin' crazy. seriously, i got off the plain, went through customs, picked up my bags and was walking out of the airport and saw this huge mass of people probably at least 15 people deep on each side. signs were waving, people were pushing each other, flash bulbs were going off. it was very surreal and i thought for a moment that they were there to great the racers as there was so many flash bulbs going off. for a moment, i felt like a rock star.
and then i realized i am just a skinny bike rider in another country.
anyhoo, gotta bolt - maybe one more post later on, for sure another post before i leave. and, hopefully some posts/pics when i get out there as i am taking my laptop.
in case i forget as i was thinking about this earlier today - for all those racing over the weekend, good luck, be safe, have fun. remember what we do this for - we need to keep it real and remember all the cool things we have seen, the places we have rode, the people we have met, the things we have done. i still can't get over some of the places i have been in just the last two years.
ride on.
sologoat out.
