I wish I could say the same, it's supposed to rain for our race. It doesn't start for another five hours though.

I think the blog is a great idea, especially if you can include some Simon-esque hand-drawn race photos... or, should I say, "drawrings." 
Here's the crowd amassed at the start to watch... The guy in the middle appears to be Hipcycler--boy, he came a long way to see this one!
