Took my bike and all my gear to school today so show all my students.  They had so many questions and comments.  The funniest was when they saw my padded shorts!  The were rolling with laughter.  They also wanted to know where I went potty?  Then the entire conversation went to how porta potties smell really bad.  I wish I had taken a picture of me with my students!  So, here it is...the night before the "big ride of my life"!  Everyone is so excited and full of energy and all I want to do is go to bed!  4:30 am is going to come really early for this night owl!  We will drive to Waller Texas and start our ride there at 8:00 am - hoping to make the approximate 70 miles to La Grange by 2:30 - 3:00 pm.  Then we start at 7:00 am from La Grange on Sunday and again approx 70 miles to the capital in Austin!  Of course the entire 13,000 cyclists will be leaving from La Grange Sunday.  Did I ever mention I DO NOT like crowds!?  I will post some pictures here Monday - I'm taking the day off and just relaxing! (or collasping) hahaha
