Waiting to Ride

March 29, 2007

Goodmorning,

I’m just hanging out waiting to ride.  Since I’m used to being at work at 7:30 am and Scottsdale is 1 hr behind – I was up early.  I got all of my bike tech work done early and now I sit and wait for the boys to get there stuff together.  Time to blog I guess….

Our Condo is spacious and is a really nice home base for the week.  I think it is exclusively furnished by Ikea too.  You know what, it has heat – but we forgot to turn it on so it was pretty chilly when we got up this morning.  Mysteriously we have no spoons……well, until we figured out that Roddi was hoarding them and had them hid away.  But the guilt was to much, so he gave it up and revealed the bounty of spoons!

Apparently we rode past the big aution that was a scene in the movie Borat.  The scene where he is supposed to be singing the USA National Anthem.  Cool.

Okay time to get changed, enjoy the sun,

We (Roddi, Evan, & myself) arrived…in one piece.

Flying direct from Edmonton to Phoenix was definitely the way to go.  Westjet is great as none of us had to pay for our bikes.  Each one of us had our own way of packing our bikes – from using a bike bag, to hockey bag and wheel bag, to just wheeling right on the plane….pretty much anyways.  No damage to any bikes so that is good.

 Our condo is nice and comfortable near most amenities.  We have rented a minivan for the week so it’s pretty easy to get around.

Tomorrow is going to be a 5 hr ride so I’d better get some sleep.  Not too many fotos today – I will try to snap more tomorrow.

Latr Gatr’s,

Mike
