Moab Day 3.....Part II

O.K. I am being bored. I had to get out of the hotel room for a bit, so I thought I would just ramble on about Moab and the last few days.

This hotel rocks. The La Quita folk treat you like family. They make cookies everyday around 4:00.....hell, that's right now! It has been very hard to stay away from the Peanut Butter ones. Mmmmmm!

I think I am the only one in town who is not driving a 4x4 car or truck. I don't understand how Shimano Tech Support, Fox, and Specialized got their semi rigs out to the race course. The road is so narrow and rough. I bet they took down a few shrubs while turning some of the tighter corners. When you are out at Slickrock there are jeeps and 4x4 trucks rage'n up and down the slickrock farther south. Looks a bit scary. The other day, there was this guy out there with a Mercedes Benz...spelling?.....looked way to nice to be climbing up rock faces.

The way things look now, it appears that the Adrenaline Series is better run. Granny Gear sticks you with all these hidden fees......camping, etc. Plus, racers have to carry a batton, plus a credit card to scan after every lap. Where in sam hell am i going to stash that stuff so it's easy to get? Maybe I will just carry it in my mouth. We also have our 2 number plates....cool. But, they give you numbers to pin to your jerseys. What are we road race'n?

I can smell those P.B. cookies, and it's driving me bonkers.

Can wait to use the new lights....David from Cateye gave me 2 sets to run during the race. Should be interesting to hear rider comments when I pass them. These lights are insane in the brightness department. Hope nobody at the race "spies" them and starts asking questions.

I have a sunburn.

The weather looks to be great for the race. Highs near 80 and lows around 45. Can't beat that.

Time to move on. I might come back later if I get bored again. Hard to believe I am bored in Moab. Too bad I have to race, otherwise I would be out riding Porcupine Rim.

Out.
