My bags are packed.. (thanks to Pat)
I'm ready to go.. (I did some of the preparation)
I'm leaving on a jet plane.. (tonight 10:30)
Don't know when I'll be back again.. (actually I do - August 9).
I am not sure when I will be posting again. I am bringing a laptop so if I find wireless or wired access in some location along the way I may post -- maybe some pictures from the race.
