It'll be slow. But I have unfinished business with this ride. I was looking forward to it all last week, and then the chain snapped and I was out. So we'll just have a relaxed day. Riding with a teammate who was sick and missed the ride, so she's unsure about how strong she'll be also. It'll be a ramble. A vertical ramble.
It turned out to be a good thing that my chain broke and I brought the bike in, though. Rolf the tall German ex pro turned wrench (who was on some amateur team with Jensbob) was very Teutonically disapproving of some of my component adjustments. So I feel very happy about how my bike is right now.
Torn about which bike to use tomorrow and will probably just go with the Merckx. Packing light.

She says she's going to ride easy. I bet we see her at the beginng and the end only on Sunday.
Happy riding tomorrow SK, JB, TH and MP! I was going to wish you good luck, but you don't need luck. You're all in great shape for this ride. You guys will have a blast tomorrow!

No, I need the luck! I think I've ridden once in the last two weeks. Let's just say my legs have gone beyond well-rested. The taper was a bit early.

Don't forget. The Chief Whiner won't be there so it's all up to me. She's set some high standards.

No whining until the second half.
