Are you like me and feeling a little down today? Medical research has shown that planning for a future goal is the best way to cope with the depression caused by withdrawal. So why not channel a tiny fraction of the ample free time you find yourself with today from not watching the Tour or racing at PIR and take five minutes to make sure you're ready to go for August 7!
This is a friendly reminder that the upcoming Oregon State TT Championships is a pre-registration event only and the deadline is now only one short week away on August 1. You can register online at www.signmeup.com <http://www.signmeup.com/> or by mailing me your entry using the information below.
