job secured....

I had an interview at BikeSource yesterday...and got hired. Well that went easier than anticipated. To top it off, there may be an opportunity to get the service manager position at the new 20,000 sq. ft. store their opening at the first of the year. I'm actually excited at the possibility of having more responsibility in the shop. I mean, it's nice sometimes to just wrench, sell, etc., but the same ol' thing everyday does wear on ya'. Give me a crap load to do and be responsible for and I'm a happy dude. I go into the shop on Monday afternoon and should know about the other position by the end of next week....cool.
We head out tomorrow for the Berryman Epic race down in So. Mo. I have a little trail time today to try out the new grips I'll be running(basically just taped over my existing ones). After last weeks sixer, my hands were a tad shelled. This should do the trick.
There is a chance of some rain in the forecast for race day, but not cold, so it should make for decent conditions. The field is almost capped at the 250 rider limit, so it will be interesting to see where I end up on the One9. I'm registered in the ss class, I'm not that foolish, but I'll be racing every man, woman and child to the end!
