We're in the middle of the make over for the Untamed New England live race site. By the time it's all said and done we should have a very fun portal for following all things pertaining to the race. We even have an initial audio post (lower left side of the main Live Race page) introducing the race and kicking off what we hope is another successful and memorable event!
In other news, the local Swiss bike shop wants 900 dollars to replace my bike's Avid Juicy disc brakes; it was a scary glance into where I could be without my bike connections back in the United States! Man, I could never afford this bike! Needless to say, I'll be making the most of my trip back to the States to acquire some new bike hardware. In the mean time, I'll stick to kayaking and putting my trail runners on for exercise. I have my old trusty Klein waiting for me in New England so I'll be back on 26-inch wheels for the next month.
I leave here on Weds already -- I have lots of meetings in advance of the New England race. Some of the meetings are about 2009 and beyond, which is both exciting and challenging as it's hard to know where we'll be geographically and as an "Untamed Adventure" organization at that point. There are a lot of exciting things developing and it starts to come down to the age old question: "how much full time event organizing can you handle?" Maybe we'll just buy a farm in Maryland and turn it into the Lactic Acid Bed and Breakfast!
