EL TOUR DE TUCSON - Chapter I

Truthfully, we have been preparing for many weeks.   The Tour Team will be in Tucson in a few days.  Emily, Bake, Sam, Bird come in from home.  Mark Schleihs and Greg Ladoe come in from KC and Houston respectively.   Mark and Greg are long time supporters of TEAM headstrong and bring great strength to our event team.

Teenie and I have been here for almost 2 weeks and training like mad.  The weather is typical....sunny and warm with today getting cooler.

The whole city is a buzz as the population gets ready for gridlock.   Unlike anything I have ever seen but Cape Argus in South Africa, this baby rolls around and through the city.  No country routes here.

Roger got in late last week with Sandy marooning him for a few days in NYC.   Craig, his son, arrived today and their team will trickle in and be 10 strong on race day.

The promotor is expecting 9-10,000 folks.  Over 2000 will be in the 60 mile version, we are racing.  Anyone wonder what our goals are???   Guess!!
