Tucson 2008

Here we are in Tucson. Andy R, Ryan F and Scott P and I are all staying in the same room. There are another 11 guys from Wisconsin all in other rooms. We're having a blast. The weather is great and the riding has been good. The roads here are REALLY ruff. The motorists hate cyclists and there is a ton of traffic.

We did the "shootout" yesterday. The locals said it was the "hardest" ride this year. I hung pretty well. Made it to the "bridge" then was promptly dropped. Scott P and Eck and another guy made it all the way. Scott ended up 2nd to Gord Fraser.

Otherwise not much else going on. Hoping to due 3 hours today and Mt Lemon tomorrow.

On a personal note I did wrap up the Multiengine Commercial Instrument Pilot license. I am hoping to get my flight instructor rating by end of March. Spring City Aviation in Waukesha has a tentative job offer extended to me if I get my ratings. So anyone interested in being a pilot can give them a call and request me as an instructor.

Anyhow looks like it's time to get ready to roll. Until next time

Hey Tony! I just discovered your blog. Looks like you're turning into a pro-cyclist! Great way to keep fit. I've tried to email you once or twice but it keeps coming back so I must have the wrong address. You can contact us via our blog if you don't have our address.
