Am I ready? Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve been diligent in my training, but the concept is still daunting. Perhaps that’s not fear as much as it is a healthy respect for the course distance…

I’m working on finding a house in Coeur d’Alene. I’m surprised at how many options I’m finding this late in the game. Hopefully I’ll firm that up by the end of the week.

As far as training goes, I’m doing well. I did a nice ride through the hill country this weekend. One person I know described it as “one spirit crushing hill after another” but he exaggerates. 🙂 The post-ride fun was a welcomed opportunity to hang out with Jeanie and meet her parents. I must say that the Hoffmans will be a hoot to have in Coeur d’Alene. We’re very lucky they’re going to be there.
