No Tucson . . . .

Not going to Tucson this year to improve on my 4:59:55 from last year. Knackered back, broken shifter on my bike and a flu just waiting to break have culminated in my decision to take a year off and concentrate on riding through the winter months and get my base going early to blow out 4:40 or better in 2010, the tenth anniversary of my first ride in Tucson. Maw and Paw arrive soon for their two month winter stay in SoCal - it will be great to see them again over here as it's been a couple of years since their last visit. Still running the Miata, and have another in the garage with the engine and gearbox out on the floor waiting for rebuilds. Lots to do!
