I’m excited for my first visit to The Cycling House in Tucson.

That excitement doesn’t come without some nervousness.  Here are my top 5 thoughts:

5.  Sunburn – I’m very white and the Missoula winter has been kind on my pale skin.  The 80 degree temperatures scare me.

4.  Riding with Brendan, Drew, Owen and Emily – I can’t wait to ride and hang out with new and old friends, but I keep picturing myself on Mount Lemmon watching Ride Guides Brendan and Emily ride away.

3.  Knowing the road – I keep having a nightmare of directing a group into the oblivion.  My Garmin Edge 800 will hopefully keep me out of trouble.

2.  Mount Lemmon – I don’t want to end up looking like Phil “Landis” Grove.

1.  Despite all those thoughts, I’m super pumped to visit The Cycling House!

I’ll be updating throughout the week on my trip.
