Tucson Cycling Classic Road Race!

Today was an excellent day-- We began our day at 3:30 am... in the dark. Our race was about 45 mins away, and we arrived at the start at 5:15 am. Check out some warm up photos.

Here's Leda warmin' up... She had a good enough warm up to ride in to #1-- riding for 30 miles by herself!!
Kate warming up. Yes, in the dark, in a Safeway parking lot.

Missy getting us ready. We really don't know what we would do without her. (But if you look closely, it may look like she is putting tags on our wheels, but she is really checking out what is left in her beer stash in her Trader Joe's bag...I guess it is what gets her through 3 hours of waiting to give us handups).

The race went well today. Leda #1, Clare #2, Cari #5, Kate #?. I (kate) led Cari out for the final leg of the race, needless to say my legs were pretty worked!

Here is the 5 of us at our Host's house. It is a most excellent house and very comfortable! We will post more photos tomorrow-- including a photo of our most gracious hosts!

Tomorrow is the Circuit, starting again at precisely 6:41 am.

too tired to write more!

Cheers! (pronounced cheez mate)
