Oooh, a chance to head back to SF. I was stationed down there for two and a half years and I loved it. Of course, I didn't pay rent...

I'll check out redmond cycling club. I know they have connections with SIR too. By all accounts, a likeable bunch of people to ride with. And if I'm going to spend twenty-some-odd hours on a bike with someone, it'd help if I like them.

I'd like to get a handful of centuries done in the spring, then a double or too during the summer and finish out the year with a really long ride.

2009 is pretty much out at the moment. High probability I'm going to Iraq.
