Not much to report, just a lot of driving. I listened to several podcasts, namely the Kevin and Bean on KROQ from LA. And got off I80 Park City to see what looked like a cool road, but when I got back on I didn't realize I got back onto I84 instead of I80. Only went about 20miles out of my way. I lucked out staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Park City b/c all they had left was a King room with a steam shower. Poor me. Dinner was courtesy of Whole Foods, which is basically right behind the hotel.
Day 2: Sept. 2, 2012 - Park City, UT to Ontario, OR
After breakfast I drove all around Salt Lake City looking for Competitive Cyclist. Google Maps was way off, but I finally found it. Being it was Sunday and Salt Lake City the roads and shops were all deserted. Onward I drove and there was little interesting until I was well bast Boise and spotted a guy walking on I84 on with his goat, which of course had a backpack on it.
I finally got to Ontario, OR and had a "B" dinner at Mackey's Steak House and Pub
Day 3: Sept. 3, 2012 - Ontario, OR to Bend, OR
Morning recovery ride in Ontario, OR and then started driving to Bend, OR
For my time in Bend, I stayed at the The Writer's Retreat. It worked well, walking distance to downtown, semi private, and parking.
Day 4: Sept. 4, 2012 - Bend, OR
Drove out to Prineville, OR to preride the TT course
Day 5: Sept. 5, 2012 - Masters Mens 35-39 30K Time trial
I raced as hard as I could maintain, but I only got 15th and didn't break the 27mph avg barrier. I was hoping for better, but looking back at my training data I got what I trained for.
After the race I drove out to Mt Bachelor to scope out the start for tomorrow's road race.
