Look out, El Tour- I'm coming back.

I just registered to ride in the El Tour de Tucson again this coming November.  111 miles (two more than it was last time I rode it!) of fun with 8,000 of your closest friends.  This time I'll know what to expect, I'll be coming from a higher elevation, and (hopefully) I'll be in better shape and ready to rock it.  I had an absolute blast when I did this ride in 2010, and I'm already looking forward to the excuse to hang out with my buddies in Tucson for a few days before and after the race.  And this gives me extra motivation to keep up my mileage over the summer and through the fall.  I've already got my eye on a few more bike races between now and then that should help along the training momentum as well...
