We made it...sort of

So we arrived in Arizona...apparently our bikes and bags arrived here to, we just haven't seen them yet! Here is the story:
We were late flying into Denver to make an already tight connection. We landed at 6:22 and our flight to Phoenix left from a different terminal at 6:38. We barged our way off the plane and sprinted through the airport to make the flight. Sadly, our bags didn't move at the same pace and had to catch the next flight into Phoenix. They were supposed to arrive between midnight and 3 am, and it is now 10:30 and no bags, no bikes! It is a damn good thing KC isn't freaking out about this because I am about *this* close. I am trying really hard to be "patient."

In more exciting news, we sat with an actual professional cyclist on our flight from Denver to Phoenix. He is racing this weekend in the Valley of the Sun Stage Race. He is on a team called Aerospace Engineering. He has actually met Lance, and George, and Vino, and has actually been in Velonews for winning races and top finishes. So we picked his brain for 2 hours on what to eat, equipment, accessories, and life as a pro. He was all about the gossip on who is hot and who is not and how the US Pro season looks for this year. Now we will have someone to cheer for at the finish line of the Crit on sunday.
-from the desert, bye for now.
