hmmm.....things
I got my Cat 1 upgrade just now. It almost seemed like an afterthought when I sent it off. But now, I guess I'm fairly proud. I'm hoping my license eventually ceases to have numbers on it though.
I've been training a lot lately. Right now I'm parked on the greatest couch in the world at Casa McGinnis. Thanks to will for letting me stay. After riding 5.5 hours in the gaps I was not up for driving home. I'm just now almost coherent. Also, i just want to mention that Will dropped me today. yes, he was 20 minutes into his ride and I was almost 5 hours in, totally cracked, and riding easy. But nonetheless, he put like a minute into me on wolfpen gap.

epic
I'm in Greenville again for the long weekend for a long weekend of training. Greenville, for those of you familiar with Old Greg, is definitely Greg's place.
Yesterday was pretty epic. I don't like overusing that word, but with the freezing weather sweeping the area, we left in 26 degree weather and headed North into the mountains where it was even colder. Will, Nick and my teammate Chris Butler headed up Caesar's head, turned around, headed back up another climb into the mountains and then descended back into Greenville. In between we were shredding on Greenville's finest country roads that make me want to ride all day. Suprisingly there was no ice on the roads but there were lots of cool icicles hanging off stuff and entire ponds frozen over. We got in just over 5 hours and in that weather, I'm calling it an Epic.
Also, props to Nick Savadellis for not being a whiny, complaining wussbag and actually enjoying himself on a hard ride.

Happy 2009
Since my last update plenty of stuff has happened, but not really much worth talking about. You know, training, sleeping, eating, Christmas, all that stuff. It was great to see the family and do the Christmas thing, and now I'm straight back into hard work with school and training.
We just finished our second team camp in Chattanooga. It was a solid four days of training despite some nasty weather. Everyone on the team looks fit and motivated and we are all super excited for 2009. Both my US and European schedule are shaping up, the form is headed steadily upwards, and I'm enjoying training more than ever.
