The night before the race.

It is the night before the race.  I have my bike checked in and my gear bags together I am fed, watered and ready to go. I have been watching the weather all week and it looks like it will be perfect for racing.
We had a nice BBQ at our hotel with Garnet and Karen and watched the Eskimos play the Riders.
Now with less than 10 hours until the start I am going to settle in for a good nights sleep.  I need to get up at 4AM.
Deb has done so much work and preparation to make sure I have everything I need. I really can't thank her enough for all of her help... but I will try to.
 There is a sign on the door of our room that says,
"It is not about the time you get, it is about the time you have."

Breakfast is ready, all of my stuff is ready and I am ready.
