Happenings



I've been home almost two weeks now and life has stayed fairly interesting. I've enjoyed some bad food, slept a lot, hung out doing nothing, and thought about things other than bike races.

After just a few days at home I headed up to the Mountains to spend a week with some friends, most of whom were doing some last minute training for the Tour de l'abitibi in Canada. I had fun riding in the mountains, we did some solid training rides and the temperatures didn't make me want to die like Macon does this time of year. More importantly, we saw a bear, almost died off-roading, and soaked our legs in an icy creek as tourists snapped pictures of the idiots with tan lines ruining their waterfall shot.

Oh, and I also raced the time trial at French Broad in asheville. I was by no means feeling amazing, but I had a solid ride to get 4th with a 25:24 20k, 30 seconds faster than I road at Nats last year. Some of the best regional tt'ers were there so 4th was a decent result.
