Sponsor Update.

Looks like next year sponsors will reamian mostly the same. That is a good thing, cause all the products I used last year rocked! One possible new sponsor that might jump on board is Maxxis tires. There are still some "talks" in the works. In the mean time check out Maxxis tire's website to see what they have. I still have not seen or heard anything from the private sponsors I contacted.......I really don't expect to hear anything till after Thanksgiving. Can you imagine what it must be like to work for the marketing dept. at a major bike corp. You have to sort out budget and who gets what, all the way from the Tour teams to the local grassroots team. Imagine getting like 200 e-mails and/or letters daily asking for support. AHHHHH, THE MADNESS! That is why you must be thankful for any, and I mean ANY support or attention you receive.

Today we are in the beginning of a cold-snap here in Iowa. Yesterday it was like 60 degrees. Today it will have a hard time getting to 40 degrees. Still no snow though......Yipee! Should be a bit of a nippy commute to work.

Today, is the first day that I have been sore from the weight workouts. My calfs are a bit "raw" from doing the calf raises yesterday. I might take today off from the YMCA, and just go out an do a low-impact bike ride. My diet and motivation is still on track......after all, I am only 4 days into it.....it should be. I am going to get my early morning web surfing in, then make a choice as to what workout to do after that.

Tonight I get to work again. Our shop is hosting a Trek Travel Wine and Cheese Party. This is when a Trek Travel rep comes and gives the low-down on all the trips they offer. Did I mention there is wine and cheese. Mmmmmmm.....cheeeeeeezzze. Should be some-what cool......I think?

Oh, I just about forgot......This lady (Click Here) will be at the shop tonight. For $1.00, you can stop by and punch her in the gut. All the money raised will go to reimburse the entry fees of the people who actually train'd. Remember kids......DOPERS SUCK!

That's it for now. Stay tuned.

Out.
