Here is an email from Brandon.
Miles,
Right now I know you are either traveling, checking in, or lounging around in your hotel room.
Just a few thoughts for your race tomorrow.
1 – Even though I know you just received your new AIR 9 Carbon putting skinning tires on it is not going to help. Although LOTOJA is a fashion show where people like to look cool, nobody there will even know what an AIR 9 Carbon with XX is. Better off to leave it at home even though you can lockout the front fork. This is a road bike race. You are better off riding the Scott.
2 – Don’t try and capture some cool video clips while riding in a pace line. If you forget “Roadies” can have quite the attitude and they just might not like it if you try and ask for them to wait up while you go and stage yourself up the road for a good video clip.
3 – Your wheels are not tubeless so don’t ride over anything you see thinking you are invincible. You will flat and there are no team cars regardless of how good Keith is a being a Team Manager.
4 – Be wary of who you make friends with on the road. Right when you think you are friends and they agree to all stop for that potty break is when they will drop you like a hot potato. There is no regrouping after the climbs/descents like on our lunch rides.
5 – Don’t try and answer your iphone while riding. Once again although mountain bikers have some handling skills and you reaching into your back pocket to pull out something like your iphone will send the peleton into an instant panic, thinking “he is going down. Clear!!”
6 – But most of all remember you signed up for this as FUN, trying to get a better time than last year. Please disregard any bad feelings or memories from the PCP2P.
Good Luck
Brandon

The bumblebee carbon would "fly you to the ja". Not fair for the competition.
That's a tough seven days buddy! When are we going to see that Air 9 review? Let's hear it.
