Hello from Central Washington

I am currently in central Washington along the Columbia River just east of Cascade Mountains. The reason is I am on my first business trip, and I have the weekend in the area. Tomorrow, I will probably go see Seattle and I will do some site seeing in the area I am staying in. The area is a high desert and is quite beautiful.

Last weekend, I raced the Pur Tour. I managed to stay attentive and went with every move that looked threatening. In the closing moments of the race, I was dealing with craps which prevented me from playing the finish of the race for the win. Also, I raced a mountain bike race in Lake Hope State Park. I had stale feelings from my legs from the race at the Pur Tour, and I am lacking the technical skills from lack of time on the trails this year. I had a bad start and messed up technically a lot so after a while I turned it into a ride rather than a race.

Till next time
Ciao
