You're probably asking yourself what the heck am I doing this close to a huge volcano that's covered in snow with a slightly exhausted look? Read more here.

We flew up to Mt. Hood in a very, very fast little plane, rode around in the heat and wind, won all the stages, flew home on Sunday straight after the final stage, got home in time for thirdsees coffees and now I am tried. I'm taking a nap as I have no bike. Hoping that it makes it back in one piece!

Hard to describe just how steep the hill is @ Cat's Hill Criterium, but if I'm bent over like this, and not in Vegas, it is going to be steep as!

Much respect and thanks to mnorri for taking a great pic!!
