To OZ


I am off to OZ in the morning. OZ being "code" for CompuTrainer HQ in Seattle. Seems that we are getting VERY close to launching the new RacerMate One software and the boss, lead programmer and sales department all want to provide their take on the plethora of new functions so that the launch video appropriately represents the upgrade. On no uncertain terms. The representation, in 16:9 HD Dolby 3.1 being My job. My experience with affairs of this nature usually translates to two things:

Make it look good and show the logo large and often.

But not this time. This is too important and too big to ho-hum. I fully plan on unleashing all the video dawgs at my command in order to create some immediate and positive love-buzz. You, and everyone who wants to get faster on the bike (would that be all of us?) need to see and appreciate all that these new tools, graphics and options will do. Here is my initial thought on how to phrase that: Voice: Now that you have made the decision to get fitter faster, and to bike better, don't you want a product that will simultaneously make it more fun, more entertaining and more POWER PRODUCING?

You do. Heck, I do. We all do.

Alright, there is a start. I will capture as much tech-talk as I can stand from the guys tomorrow and get started. Deadline is the Seattle Bike Show on March 12 & 13. Three weeks. Ouch. Wish the old RCVman luck.

In other news, longtime VBA'er le won the NAME THOSE TUNES competition with an astounding 19 of 21 correct answers, only slipping on Someday We'll be Together and Lotta Love. Way to go le!!!!! I started to do another compilation this afternoon but got bogged down with the tedium, so until I get another five free hours, that will be that.

Lastly please put May 2-6 on your calendar as we have dedicated those dates to a self supported ride around the Olympic Peninsula on Highway 101. The RCVman has done this three times and now invites all his friends to accompany this year. You don't have to be fast, just happy.

All for tonight. Great session again this morning, recovery is key gang. Spring can't be far off.
