I went to the final pre-MS150 team meeting yesterday evening and got all the little details I hadn’t heard yet. Our team — Team Mission Control — has its own luggage truck, which is going to be nice. No walking all the way across the LaGrange fairgrounds and schlepping my stuff back to the Team MCC tent. Yay! But it does change my “schedule” a bit, because luggage drop-off is tomorrow evening between 4:30 and 6:30, which means I have to pack tonight. No biggie. It’s only one night on the road and so I really don’t need much in the way of luggage except my sleeping bag and air mattress and a comfy change of clothes.
I picked up my Team MCC jersey on Tuesday evening, and it’s really cool! It’s a tad smaller than I’d prefer, but tight is good for biking, right? And the design is awesome. The front and back have two different images of an astronaut biking on Mars. The team logo says “On Earth and someday on Mars.”
If you would still like to sponsor me on the ride, please do it today!
