I'm heading east this afternoon with photographer Peter Haley for a 12-day tour with a McChord C-17 crew. We'll be visiting Germany, Krygyzstan and Afghanistan and, needless to say, I'll be getting very little riding in the next two weeks. (Although I did ask if I could bring bike.)

Soon, a guest blogger will be taking over in my absence. Rick Beitelspacher, whose team I'm following as as they train for the 203-mile STP, will bring his cycling knowledge to this blog for the next few week

If you want to check out my dispatches from Afghanistan, check out our military blog starting tomorrow.
