ES had the latest time posted but Sporza and some others have the earlier time so I put up the earlier one so no one will miss coverage. I generally try and err on that side.
One day soon we'll have your DNA on file

Guys that I didn't know to put on the current team,

Yeah good point.
I’ve got a couple of so far obscure riders on the team, but I’m not expecting that much from them.
Anyone who puts Barbie on his bike
is clearly demonstrating a deep-seated wish to be part of Team Barbie Barbie. Don’t worry—when your team goes down in flames, we can always use another soigneur.

Once I found out what accom I’m having, ie: single or share, pretty sure I have a room to myself…you could stay with me, if I have..or I can get it through the company at a cheaper price… Let me know and i’ll see what I can do.

I may go back to bed for a while.
We had a 7-mile run last night, which is long for me. Usually long runs tire me out, but last night it had the opposite effect and I couldn’t sleep. Bah running, anyway.
