This weekend was lit so rushed I thought I’d have so much more time, but here I am waiting to get on the plane trying not to think about what I may have forgotten.

My next communication will be stateside where I finally get to see what all this cycling malarkey is like.

I’m checking into a hotel tonight to get everything ready to rumble and also to get some rice for the road.

Just about to board, wish me luck!

You’re in cycling,

Dan
