T-2 days and change

Still feeling good about the race - set another PR at the Tuesday Night Time Trials, cutting another 19 seconds off my previous best time.  Did a very abbreviated version of WednesdayNightHammerFest (rode the first 12-1/2 miles with the other Wild Card guys, then turned around and hammered the rest of the way home solo).  Bike’s cleaned and tuned up.  I’ll do an easy 1 hour recovery ride tomorrow, then it’s time to rest up for the race.
