A quick Super-Rookie-esque entry to give all of you something to chomp on.

--A busy week of racing. OPUS on Tuesday, Avon Road Race on Saturday, and the Lillydale TimeTrial on Sunday. I didn't win any of them. The streak continues.

--BMC construction has ground to a halt. There's going to be some issues with routing the internal cables. The main issue is that I don't want to do it; I want someone else to do it and just present me with a finished bike. Post in the comments section if you want to do it for me. There might be a sixer in it for you. Everything else is done, though.

--Stewartville and Chatfield (both MN) were happy to host Tuffy on Saturday night as he attended a portion of JD's bachelor party. We're also happy to report that Tuffy was not asked to leave Strikers, the Down Under, or the Coyote Club. Plus, he got to see Sweet Pete jump -- not once, but twice -- through a hedge out front of the Coyote Club. Well done, Pete!

--I'm tired. And I have to tune-up a friend's bike today and then settle in for the Giro d'Italia update. Basso will not win the Giro; that's a Tuffy guarantee!
