On the road again soon!

Just finished an amazing breakfast of home-made multi-grain pancakes and sausage! Next I'm grabbing a quick shower and packing my gear on the bike and should be on the road within about an hour.

The Gym Facilities: TMT is amazing, and they finished a big expansion while I was there.  There is TONS of room, with seven+ massive separate training areas of various sizes, tailored for MMA, Muay Thai, weight lifting, and crossfit style workouts (kettlebells/etc.).  ...
