We have done a bunch of shopping and bought a tonne of food. Most of the food that we have bought is raw. We will see how this goes. We have some backup espresso shots and red bull just incase we need a pick me up in the middle of the night, but we will see what happens. The weather down here is hot, hot, hot. It was about 27 degrees today and not a cloud in the sky. We went for a quick 30 minute ride just to loosen up the legs and make sure the new Crank bros. pedals that we picked up from Mountain Bike City were good to go. Everything thing seems to be in order. We have 35 energy balls each and I have made about 18 litres of my new energy drink. We also have about 20 litres of fresh water to drink also. We have our Video cameras with us and a couple of still cameras aswell. Before we know it, it will be sunday at noon and we will be finished. I will post another entry about this race once all the dust settles. That one will have pictures and hopefully a video attached.

We were in Houston visiting our Friends Brian, Lisa and Carly. Brian and Lisa let us borrow a couple of there mountain bikes and Brian took us out for a local mountain bike ride. We rode from their house in the heights over to the Bayou. We then rode along the paved pathway to downtown and back as a warm up. We then headed out to hit the dirt in Memorial Park. Brian took us on a little bit of hidden trail that only a few locals know of. The trails were not overly technical which was good since we have not been outside on our bike for 5 months due to winter in Calgary. We spent about 2 hours riding around in circles occasionally touching the same piece of trail. Brian did a great job of looping us around and around so that we could ride almost all of the available trails in Memorial Park. I would highly recommend riding Memorial Park in Houston if you are in Houston and looking for a local ride that you can do within the city. Thanks again Brian and Lisa for a great holiday and an awesome mountain bike ride.
