We are there!

Well we arrived here in Bend, Oregon about 2 hours ago. To say the least it's cold. It was 9 degrees without the windchill factor and the flags were flying straight out as could be. There is also about 1-2" of snow on the ground. We have heard that its pretty cold at home to, so we feel your pain. Also, I have to add, that Oregonians are crappy drivers in the snow over the passes. They should stick with things that they are good at such as logging, trapping beavers, pioneering new trails, growing beards(sorry Micah), pumping your gas, cross-dressing, and of course recycling. They suck at driving their cars in the mountains.
We are shacking up in this little hotel for a couple of days before we transfer on Wednesday to the race's Official Hotel right in the venue/course area. Kristi is on the windtrainer spinning out the weekends pain, and I'm about ready to get my turn in. It sounds like the temps are gonna warm up towards the weekend with some extra snow coming. We are hoping that the temps come up with snow and make the course messy and technical. That will give us an edge over some other riders who don't handle those conditions well.
Kristi is now doing push ups and stomach crunches...........I better get to work and catch up on my work out. She is making me feel guilty.

Hi Micah, and Corrie!
