Last night, I posted a “help wanted” in this spot looking for someone to help me out at the Pisgah Stage Race. Turns out, between the race entry, 7 nights in a motel, and potentially boarding the dogs for all/part of the trip (I’d originally thought that Ryan would be in town for the week), the cost of traveling and racing is just too much.
I’m still a little undecided on interbike, but motivation to find an epic adventure-friendly team is definitely high. Irons in the fire? Sure, I’ve got a couple cooking, but I’m not sure how hot the fire is under there. Anyone I talk to says they’ll know after Interbike.
I hate the frustration of indecision, but at least I’ve decided I can’t go to Pisgah.
I’ve come up with another way to look at this, though I’m sure it’s occurred to you. Interbike offers the chance to further yourself more than another race… Bite the bullet Andrea… Just don’t take it on the plane. (Lame humor in the early morning. My specialty. And it’s free, too!)
