Have you heard the news? Looks like Clif Bar has put a team together for the Corporate Race Across America – which is actually only Race Across Part of America, as we’ll be starting in San Diego and ending up in Flagstaff.  Looks like we’ve got a fine crew of lads willing to attempt this rather nutty feat – check out the cast of characters at http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/files/raam2005/riders/Team%20Clif%20Bar_2005.htm.  Yup, somehow my teammate Eric and I got involved in

Sitting at home today, sick.  My little 2 1/2 year-old virus transportation unit wins this round and I’m down for the count - recovering as quickly as I can in hopes of being in a race-worthy state by Sunday.
