Hey, I'm right where I always am, getting hammered by work & travel! The weather's been horrible this year, but since I've been running my tail off, it hasn't mattered.

Had a great moment yesterday though, I had a company meeting in Allentown, PA at 9 a.m., so I left early and stopped at Trexlertown Velodrome beforehand. It was foggy and wet, but the chills running down my spine didn't have anything to do with the weather as I walked up to the boards. Just stood there looking around for a few minutes with a big fat grin, then I walked around the track on the apron. Felt wonderful to be back there again... sort of like the farm team ballplayer walking into Yankee Stadium. ;^)

Today's sunny and going up to the 50's (hey, that's a heat wave this year) so I'll be in the garage and out on the road (for the 2nd time this year).

BTW, the CR list hasn't been the only list where hackles have been raised lately, I think it's just spring fever (check out the touring list for the last week!). I think it's sad about Ken and Mark leaving, I treasure everyone's input, even if I don't agree or don't have interest in the subject. I really, really loved the track stuff this week, I've gotten more info and inspiration from that then the velodrome and fixed gear list in months.
