After we got cleaned up we headed down to transition to drop off our bikes. In most of the big races you have to drop off your bike the night before just to limit the mass chaos on race morning.


Here's a picture of my bike all racked and ready to roll. I always hope that it doesn't rain, but you never know what the night will bring so it's always best to play it safe with a couple of garbage bags on the seat and handle bars.


Once we were done with the bikes we needed to kill some time. What better way to occupy 2 1/2 hours than a movie? The theater in Lake Placid is small and older than your typical "state of the art" theater, but it was still cool. We saw Wallie......just kidding. We saw the new Batman movie "DarkNite". I was very impressed with Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker and I really thought he made the movie. I'm no Roger Ebert and hardly go to see movies, but I'd have to give it two thumbs up and it was one of the better movies that I've seen in a while.

So we're back with our legs up and Gatorade in hand. I think we're going to meet up with Jeremy, Jocelyn, Mark and Rich tonight for dinner at my favorite pre-race restaurant.
