Big Austin Weekend

Well, today's AMLI. We're making the pilgrimage down to Austin this afternoon to catch the action and visit with family. I'm really excited to get to be a spectator, even more excited than if I were racing. And though I didn't see his name on prereg, I hope one of my bros, in my heart mega lord of all that is cycling, henceforth referred to as Sol, will be out there having fun and tearing things up. Last year my friends and I had such a spectacular time, yelling our lungs out to the point we could taste blood. That's what I call enthusiasm! Sol had a terrific night and did especially well. I think he always does great, regardless the finish : ) but then again I'm his big sistah, so.

Before we come home, I'll swing by his store so he can magically wave his hands over my bike and make her smile again because I do a lot of things to that poor machine that tends to make her frown. I think Sol feels especially close to my bike because he built her up for me and knows she will be the only road bike I ever want or need. He knows I plan to ride far and wide so it must never fail me. I sure am lucky my little brother always looks out for me. His bday is in a few days - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SOL !!! XOXO
