Tourist Stuff and Team Untamed Adventure/Movenpick

We secured Jill's work Visa today so she can start bringing home the bacon, go get 'em hun!  Over the last couple days we've done some touristy things like checking out the Grossmunster cathedral:


and I sampled the local hazelnut ice cream, Movenpick, as part of my pre-Patagonia "bulking up" phase:


So, yes, Untamed Adventure will have a team entered in the Patagonia race next Feb and it's going to be interesting.  We're all in way over our heads, but that's why we do these things and if it wasn't a challenge why would we bother?  If I have time I'd like to get a team blog set up so you can follow Joel, Sherry, Rob, and my preparations for the race . . . Sherry has a cult following already and might land some giant Shera-sponsorship at the rate she's going.  She's  phenomenal, and so are Joel and Rob (Rob did some pro mtn biking back in the day, as I understand it).  This would be a way to share the experience vicariously and all.  Maybe I can send you some of my lactic acid as I push up these hills around here, sharing some of that too?  Too much Movenpick for me, no doubt, but that' the secret to my mental toughness!

Man, I wish I could have gone but there is just too much going on next year for me.  Good luck guys - let me know if there is anything I can do to help (other than things like flying to Zurich).

Hey Morgan, how about a sweet BRMS sponsorship in which we get to walk in to the store and just grab what we need?
