Things are going to be pretty nice here in Rosamond. I’ve gotten all settled in and the Augustine’s are an excellent host family, making me feel right at home. Tonight we were laughing about the obscure way in which we are related to each other. We figured out that I share the same great-great-grandmother as DJ, who is my twelve year old buddy. He let me take over his room which is pretty cool. I snapped these pics during today’s ride. After about an hour long valley spin I rode over the first little mountain pass that drops down to Lake Elizabeth road. This one snakes through the valley with mountains on either side. To the south, the higher peaks had some snow on them left over from Saturday night. The ride temps were 45-50 degrees, but the full sunshine and lack of wind made things feel rather nice.
Talking to my parent in Spooner, it sounds like they got buried in 18″ of snow. That’s march in Wisconsin for ya; good thing I’m avoiding it! After the stage race this weekend I’ll be headed up to Solvang to coach at one of the premier camps CTS puts on. Should be fun to ride the roads that Discovery and CSC do their winter camps on. This is all for now. Hope the training is going well wherever you are… Keep it Real, TJ |
