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!
