Race weekend

Last night was relatively cool so there was a poor turn-out at Thursday night racing. There were only seven racers in the A Group, six of which were Synergists. More points for us, I guess. CBTL meeting followed, then Ryan and I headed to Swan's for some grub and a couple of pints.

I have to pick up a 15-passenger van at the Driving Force this afternoon in preparation for our team trip to Edmonton tonight. We have sign-in at Velocity Cycles before 10pm so we have to be timely. Race up to Northeast, get van, race home, pack van, to Natasha's for her stuff, then Colin's, then to Deerfoot Mall to pick up everyone else at 5:45. Luckily I'm 3/4 packed. Yipe!

The Velocity Stage Race (formerly the Ardrossan Stage Race) starts Saturday morning in Josephburg, just outside of Fort Saskatchewan. The ITT and Crit are on Saturday, the road race on Sunday. New routes, should make life interesting (plus the ITT is longer and not a lung-buster uphill). There are approximately 12 teammates going and we are all staying at the U of A residence. Should be a good weekend. Wish us luck!

Wish I could stick around though. Doug is planning on having a get-together on Saturday, which I'm missing. I haven't seen the gang in awhile, and I'm starting to miss them! I'll probably not be present for such other events in the near future like the Lilac Festival and Calgary Pride weekend. Oh, what I sacrifice for my passion.

Apparently they're changing the course because the old course is where all the dead prostitutes were turning up!
