Friday April 3, 2009

Okay, pinch me, it is April so where the HECK is Spring....... Last week Hutchinson got a mere 18 inches of snow and our weather guys threatened us with up to 12 inches, but lucky for us they were as accurate as ever and all we got was a smattering of ice that was gone the next day...... I do not mean to sound like I am complaining or unhappy we did not get the white stuff, I am certainly glad that we got missed....

I just want it to get warm and stay warm so my butt can hit the saddle for more than one or two days in a row so I can get it broke in, my butt that is...

This year is shaping up to be a very busy one for us and we are jazzed about all of you that have signed up for Border Raid 2009.
I am so excited because many of my very best buds are going to be on the ride this year, some riding, some helping and some there to keep me in line...... HA, let them try.

I can hardly wait to hear how Bryan is gonna hurt Chris and how Chris thinks he is gonna hurt Bryan.... I keep telling everyone, never ride beside Bryan, ride a little behind and the pace will stay normal, if you don't the pee test is on, baby and it is going to get fast.
The Hays Mafia is back, Bill, Paul and Sharon usually ride off the front just behind Ken. That is how in the morning I find the place I need to be.
Again we have folks from all over the country coming together for this ride. It amazes me to this day how so many BS degree holders we get in one place at one time for one week....

I hope your weather is great and you are getting in a lot of miles..... don't overtrain, remember we have one day where you have 90 downhills in 30 miles of road so it will be a piece of cake that day. You will have more fun than you deserve.
Keep the rubber side down,
cheers,
Jim Turner
