So since i have returned from Tour of Arkansas I have been recovering to go back to Tulsa, OK this weekend for the Tulsa Tough crit series. There's a lot of money in each race that pays 25 deep. The pros have been separated from the cat 1/2's so that means I have a chance of placing top 10 or better. Definitely in the money and not to mention points for a cat 1 upgrade. The only problem is my teammate has bailed on me and I am now by myself with no one to travel with and split costs. So Courtney told me that some local guys from Team Legacy were going down so I have contacted the team directors hoping that they can forward the message to the rest of the team but I also stalked one of the team members on facebook and sent him a message. I figured that woudl be the quickest way to get one of their attention and just prey that they want to carpool down. I ran some numbers and the maximum amount of money I have for this trip is about 575 bucks, 650 by re-maxing out my credit card, and 1,050 if I cut into my rent money which is absolutely a last resort. If I go by myself it will cost about 565 which will be really pushing it. I have not been able to work lately since I have been taking off so much for these big races and its really pinching my wallet. I got screwed earlier in the month when my teammate bailed on my for Tour of Gila since I had already asked off I couldn't work. And now the time I haven't been working is catching up to me. While if I have to go by myself I could prolly squeeze my accounts dry and just barely make it. Although I know when I come back I would be super screwed financially. I Would definitely be eating lots of pasta and commuting rain or tornado. There is still a race this weekend that I can do with the team and save money in the end which would be Hugo and I hear that its a lot of fun.
So by this point if I don't have anyone to travel with I'm not going and I'll stay here. If the legacy guys get back to me it might be another story. We'll see....
