Ahh Hillsboro. May I suggest

Luke - thanks for the compliment/acknowledgement in the previous post. I actually had a ton of fun helping to volunteer last year at Hillsboro. So much so in fact that I already put myself down for this year. Anyone else interested in helping for this particular race, go ahead and email Rich Pierce - RPIERCE@im.wustl.edu (His response back from me today; Wow, thanks, we are excited whenever someone volunteers- cheers us all up. You made my day. rp) There are lots of needs prior to race start that will not affect your ability to race in this event...

Darn. . .we are flying back from Cape Town that day and I will miss this race for the second year in a row. Here's looking forward to 2009!

Julian, SHUSH! I go to Hillsboro each year simply to stock up on bottles for the season. From personal experience, I would also shy away from seatposts with carbon clamps. No, really.

(Guys, it's not THAT hard... just find a big guy and keep him verbally engaged so that he doesn't notice you've been drafting him for three hours).

Let's see, add 7, carry the 1, integrate CosX over the interval 0 to 3 dx... Yep, that should do it.

115 days until Hillsboro!
