I just talked to Ex, and for now we have made the Huntsman Games the focus of my training plan. I'm hoping I will have been hired on by then, and be able to use PTO. To summarize:
....Tue Oct 8: Hill Climb
....Wed Oct 9: Time Trial
....Thu Oct 10: Criterium
....Fri Oct 11: Road Race
Who is in?
FYI: Some SoCal and Nevada cyclists do the Nevada Senior Games while enroute to Utah for the Huntsman Games.
