Made it to America's Dairyland with no trouble other then one broken bike box.  Not a big deal considering the amount of things that go wrong when you travel these days.  Seamus "Famous" Powell joined us this time around and he is a great travel companion.   Best of all he doesn't snore which is a good thing when sharing a room.  We have been able to pre-ride the course twice so far and we all decided the course is alot of fun and has a nice mix of climbing, singletrack, and technical sections.  The forcast was calling for rain which would make it interesting but I think its going to be hot and dry.  The race is also a bit later then usual with the women going off at 12:30pm and the men at 3:30pm.  Cross your fingers.
