I was staring at my Speedvagen this morning and thought the tires looked fat. Upon closer inspection, it turns out the width is 25mm, not the usual 23mm I'm used to. That extra cushion should make the chip-seal on the HHH seem like smooth black top. I can't wait.
Speaking of which, I confirmed our stay at the lovely La Quinta Wichita Falls this morning. $135 a night is amazing, considering their normal room rate is only $52. But then, I'm not complaining (maybe I am), because check out the great amenities - a deluxe room with 2 double beds, a continental breakfast, and a semi-private pool - where I'm sure to be regaled by stories of the heat, double pace lines and missed attacks by Bud Light drinking freds (phreds, for you international folks).
Ah... but I'm still looking forward to it. And I look forward to telling everyone I'm going to ride the 100 mile route for real this time, but will again end up riding the special 75 mile route instead. Pete, you have been warned. At least this time we'll know to skip the Cajun food in Waco. What were we thinking?!
In job hunting news, it's still a hunt. I haven't posted my resume yet, but I'm getting closer. Again, is it "walks on water" or "walk on water"? I suppose it's all in how you use it in a sentence.

Ha! I told you your tire looked wider on the ride on Saturday.
I thought you were talking about my mid section on that ride. Actually, I purchased 700cx23, but was shipped 700cx25. Good catch.
