well, hell. I just got offered the opportunity to be the head cartographer in charge of all map production and GIS needs for the Wegner Patagonian Expedition Race 2011.

I will be leaving the country to live in Punta Arenas, Chile for 6 to 8 months this september. When i applied, i never really thought this would happen.

As i have been in somewhat of a rut for the past 8 months or so, i really am looking forward to this experience. i have never been outside of north america and have done very little traveling outside of the US. To say i am ecstatic right now would be an understatement. I am still kind of in shock. Kinda nervous. Certainly over joyed.

I will celebrate by taking my 17th ride of the year to the top of a mountain and ripping single track all the way to the bottom, grinning the whole way. Just unreal. I don't even believe it.
