transiowa prep and pics

-quick note...guitar ted will be doing audio again. at this point it sounds like it will be on his blog rather than the transiowa site. read his disclaimers if you want, but basically don't freak out if you don't hear someone's name. he's running a race and commenting when he can.

-weather looks good. suprisingly good. here's for not getting too optimistic.

-already not sleeping well.

-by most people's standards i probably take this "race" too serious. they can piss off.

-hoping to have new vassago team kit here today or tomorrow before i leave. it'll be cool to finally fly the colors.

-fisticuff is in as good of shape as i can get it. still love this bike but looking forward to tearing it apart and building 2 fistys instead of just one.

-huge thanks again to kris and misty at vassago for all the support. this race was basically the beginning of my relationship with them well over a year ago and they've been awesome ever since.

-i'll be in the garage tightening every bolt i can find if anyone needs me.
