The longest coming event EVER!

Finally! We are doing the MS 150 this weekend. I swear to God(dess) this has been the longest, most drawn out event I've ever experienced. I'm sure prepping for Burningman is just as long and drawn out - but I'm "into" that - so it doesn't FEEL like this does.

Tom, some ex-coworkers from Europe through the back door and thier friends make up a team of about 17 total. We're calling ourselves the Eurostars - even had our own jerseys made up (I created the design). We raised over $6500 as a team to donate to the Multiple Scolrosis foundation (thanks everyone who donated!). That feels pretty good.

Just for the heck of it - we chose a theme for ourselves and our team tent: "Pirates of the European". Sillyness is bound to ensue - and I'm looking forward to that part of it. Mostly... I'm looking forward to the end of the stress of putting this thing together, and the guilt for not riding enough (according to Tom). I really can't wait to be done. And crash... and drink beer... yes - beer. Pedal - beer - pedal - beer... I think I can do this. Wish me luck - and lots of dry thoughts!
