One 24 hour car ride later and 309 songs into Watt's ipod, the CXC Team is back home in Hayward, WI (Fish, Kuzzy, Gregg, Valaas), Rhinelander, WI (Cook), or Duluth, MN (Watt). And what did we find as we approached Wisconsin? Yes, a snow storm. April 4th, all I want to do is take my road bike out for a nice long spin and there's a good 4" of fresh snow blanketing Cresthill.

The drive seemed a breeze because I was reading "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz, a true story of 7 prisoners' escape from a Siberian labor camp to India. While reading about their year-long trek with little food, across the Gobi desert with no water, through the Himalayas in the spring and numerous other hardships, a 24 hour van ride seemed like a pleasant stroll through the park.
