The Specialized D4W ladies finally got together for a team picture (well, most of us).

Not too shabby lookin’ if I say so myself.

I’m off to Cascade in a few days.  Meanwhile, I have escaped from the furnace and am living it up in good ‘ol Flagtown.  I get to play nurse this week since my mom just had a spinal fusion.  I am a crappy nurse, but I can whip up a mean salad and take lots of naps.

This guy snapped a picture of me while I was riding down Mt. Lemmon the other week.  Geez, I am higher up in my drops than most people are in their hoods.  Note: neon green pump straps are making a come back.

The Specialized D4W ladies helped me win the Summit Center stage race up here in Flag last weekend.  I got to sport a fabulous leaders jersey with a huge red and white target on the back.  I was somewhat concerned that I might be mistaken for an elk.  We all rolled home with lots of cash.  Thanks to TC for equal prize money for the 1/2 women and men!

Yesterday I borrowed a sweet Pivot full suspension bike from my old employer - Absolute Bikes - up here in Flag.  Rocking the full suspension, long travel bike with Time pedals and road shoes is most fashionable these days.  I don’t recommend screwing up in a technical section, however.  It is most difficult to clip back in.

That’s all for now.
