Today was one more day of hanging out in Kaohsiung. We took a ferry across the harbor onto an island hoping to find some quiet riding, but it turned out being more of the same: dodging scooters. On top of that, I fell off my bike. I don't like falling off my bike. I got my front wheel caught in a metal slot of some type that ran lengthwise down the roadway. I went down pretty hard. But, excluding my pride, no real damage was done.

Racing starts tomorrow. I'm ready to get going. We were finally given our race guides today so we have some idea of what to expect. That's helpful. Tomorrow's criterium is only 66km long, but I'm sure it'll be hard nonetheless.
