lucky.

First off, I got the entire row to myself...and that was because the center seat I was supposed to have was swapped with a guy who wanted to sit with his buddies, so I took his seat..and then no one sat next to me. I had the only empty row on the plane. Lucky.

Then my bags showed up...both of them. And early, too. Lucky.

Then the guys at Bicycle Heaven" were nice enough to put the bike together and test ride it for me. Lucky?

Then I got in a few hours on the road Saturday morning...by the end of the ride, I had bare arms and legs. Lucky!

THEN I went mountain biking to prep for Sunday's race. Standing in line to reg for the event, I thought..."dang, its been awhile since I did this.

Check my wheels. Luc, nah, I won't say it.
