Bike is ready. Huge thanks to Dave of Georgian Cycle for getting the wheel fixed in time. Took off some stress. The knees well can't change them. As for this cold thing. The throat is not to bad. Feels like I have cotton batten on the top of my mouth and its hard to swallow. That and always dry throat. Hopefully its better in the morning.

This is the first time I haven't been excited about a race. I wish it was another week away but can't change time. More later. Report on Sunday.

back to some ice!!
