I have been a man of few words lately. I just have not had much to say. I took some time off, and then did a mini-block of training to get ready for the VT125. I am excited about the VT for several reasons, foremost among them is the chance to ride some terra-incognita. I am going blind into this event, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

That's not to say I have not spent some time looking over the course overview that Tom has put together, but it can only do so much to educate me on the miles and miles I will be rolling over this weekend.

Another reason I am excited about the VT is the roster. Several familiar faces will be on hand, and several others who I have wanted to get to know and ride with will also be there. I am as stoked for the post ride BBQ as I am for the ride itself. That is a strong group of riders, and should make for a fantastic day in the saddle.
