Yesterday evening had a little pre race get together at Speedway Cycles- Pizza and beer and wine and stuff- the universal get together fitness fanatics 'health food' pre race binge....
and today the pre race briefing- and final checks and details.It's been snowing steadily since last night- just in time to make the start of the race more, well, interesting....
After the meeting walked home in the white silence- snow falling on me- a quiet brightness- peaceful, feeling ready for the 'big day out' tomorrow.
To close- I thought I'll this email from Bill,
Hello All,
Every year the trail throws something unexpected our way. Part of the "fun" is trying to guess what unexpected suprise we will find each year and be prepared. I was watching the news tonight and Mt Redoubt which has been quiet for several days is blowing off steam again. Never had a volcano blow up during the race before but a dust mask might be a good addition to everyone's kit. On the bright side ash in the air makes beautiful sunsets.
