durango [tour] time

On the morning of the Team TT, there is no rush to get to work. The first leisurely stop was Bread where Jason and I ran into Wherry who was on his way to the airport for his next gig, the Cascade Classic. Two coffee re-fills later, it was over to Chris and Kathy's for more Tour watching. We stayed long enough to see the crash and Discovery walk away with the W.

It was after 10am by the time we landed at Purgatory...hey, we're still the first ones in the office! Sweet, we can make more coffee and check out the Tour coverage online. By 1pm everyone made it up to the mountain so we had a lunch meeting (miniature golf) to discuss current events (Fraser has a roommate). By 3pm we had to get back to our desks to log onto DWC for our Tuesday night "ride" schedule. And by 4pm it was time to head back down the mountain and get race ready!

A new kid showed up for this weeks showdown. C-Dog they called him. The powerhouse was pulling us through the Valley and then blew...a tire or something...right before the climb. This left Hal, Jeff, Joe, Scott and I to battle it up old Shalona. I was not a threat for long as I cracked 6 minutes in. The boys attacked each other at the RR tracks and when all was said and done, it was Joe who won a week of bragging rights.
