The boys over at SovaBros.blogspot.com ought to be envious of these bad boys. Chad was the local pioneer of the tall sock revolution, and now I’m all in. Smith is a new sponsor for 2006 and I must say that I’m very impressed not only with their level of support, but also with there new product that is all top-notch.
The snow camo Axis glasses somehow seem appropriate for a Wisconsin guy who’s escaping the wrath of winter by hiding in the desert. Zero nose slippage on these specs, a must for a good pair for of riding glasses. This facial expression is about as serious as I get.
The recovery week is doing its trick and my legs are feeling 100% ready to get going. A couple days and I’ll be back at it with a full workload once again. The late March and April schedule is filling in nicely with some road stage races in Southern California. I’ve even found one that includes an uphill time trial. Awesome! Essentially these will start just before the Sea Otter and get me through until the first NMBS race in Fontana. Now I just have to line up some housing… This could prove to be more difficult than the racing itself. Finding a place for 6-8 weeks could be a challenge, but it should work out somehow.
Three eBay auctions are ending today so I’ll be preparing a run to the Post Office soon. I’m also going to look into the bmx scene a bit more. Perhaps this would allow me to hone in some handling skills and make for a healthy distraction while I’m here in AZ. Keep it Real, TJ
