I am here in Portland Or. Ride starts tomorrow. we have to put our bikes together, meet the crew and go for a short 40 mile warm up ride today. It is hard with jet lag. I have been up since 3:30am pacific time, that is 6:30 eastern time. I can't wait to ride again. After spending 15 hour traveling yesterday. I rather be riding(lets see if I still say that after day 3or 4).
