At long last the endless season of indoor training is coming to a close and with bike in box I am off to the airport. First destination - Tara and the land of Scarlett O'Hara, for a quick overnight at the real life setting for Gone with the Wind.Then it is off to the deep woods of Ocoee, Tennessee home of the Cohutta 100 - first leg of the NUE Series. The digs for the race look pretty good, the Joe Jacoby cottages. As luck would have it I happened to have scored the one cottage with an outdoor hot tub so the post race relaxation and cocktail party is all set. With Floyd and the gang staying just down the driveway we might luck out and get Rock Racing to send over their stable of groupies to really get the hot tub party going!
It does feel a bit strange to have a full range of gears to select from and I hope that after a couple of years of not having to consider which gear to select that I manage to get it right. And Harlan, thanks for the run down on the course, nothing worse then having to ride the first race of the season "blind" and with no vertical under the belt since October!
