Greetings one and all. My associate Judah gave his last final today so the teaching is all done and we can now turn our focus solely on the long march south. Being that school is out, there will no doubt be a celebration tonight. My expectations for the evening: first, we will feast on the finest meats and cheeses in all the land. The mead and ale shall flow as freely as the James River in flood stage, and will be brought to us by an incredible beautiful yet suprisingly approachable beer wentch (think St. Paulies Girl). Being that this is Lexington, its highly unlikely but a gentleman can always hope.
My brother came into town this weekend in preparation of the Tour of Tucker County in West Virginia. It is ranked as one of the top 10 hardest races in the country. The race consists of 37 miles with 14 miles of climbing. Better him than me. If you would like to check out some pics and results of the zebra suited speed demon, you can check him out at teamtraveller.com. We went for an hour or so ride today in the rain. I really felt like I was battling the elements, good training for the months to come. Oh yeah, he's real fast. I just tried to hang on his wheel. A futile task to say the least.
I picked up the handlebar bags yesterday, so we are all gear-up. Now its just time pack up, move a couple more fridges and get on the road. Tomorrow is graduation for Judah and he will be dressed to the nines in his academic regalia. Anyway, six more days, I can't wait.
Up the road,
Steve
