I said I'd make another post before I left town. Little did I know that was cursing my chances of actually doing so. Between the normal prerace packing and checklist double checking, this morning I got a nice surprise while dropping wifey off at work. The headlights in the Element no longer worked (although the brights did). I was not pleased to say the least.
I hurried to work while Marni called the dealer and let them know I was going to try to make it in. My boss was quite helpful and I was able to escape work for a few hours even though I'm about to leave for several days and by 11am I made it back to work with working headlights. Now I just quicly finished my lunch which leaves me the rest of the afternoon to prepare work things for my coworker while I'm gone. My "other" boss is on a 2 week trip to Europe hence the added craziness. I think I just might make it.
I can't wait to ride my bike!
P.S. Marni will have SPOT GPS updates of my progress posted in a new blog here or on her blog starting Friday morning.

good luck chris. we'll be "spot" checking you through the weekend.
Good luck Chris! I am sure you will be flying!
I just realized you will not be at TI this year! That is a bummer!
Good luck in AZ!
Paul,
I won't be at TI. I debated doing both the AZT and TI but in the end I decided it wasn't wise with my summer plans. Sorry I won't get to hang out with you guys this year but race your hearts out and I'll be watching from home.
have a blast!
Chris,
Have a great ride and please be careful! I'll be thinking of you and monitoring your progress. Just do your best and have fun.
Love,
MOM

Mike
