This update is a bit overdue, so I hope you haven’t been too bored without something to read.  The SDSR ended up being a pretty good weekend. The GC never really changed after the TT, so I finished 18th. Not too spectacular, but the racing got the spider webs out of my legs at least. To be completely honest with you, the road race on Saturday was the first ride I’ve done with other people since sometime last fall. Both of the final stages ended with bunch sprints so we all got the same time as the leader.

I was in a break during the RR but that never materialized; at least the fast racing made for good workouts… I’m now up in Beullton, about to retire tonight before day two of the CTS training camp. Today’s four hour ride was on some of the coolest roads I’ve ever seen. I’m talking super narrow, twisty, and steep stuff that’s totally littered with cracks and potholes. It was awesome! All of the people here for the camp are super cool too. I’m riding with the “A” group along with Chris and Derick as the other coaches. Tomorrow morning I’m going to help out with the climbing repeats workout before heading back to Rosamond.

On the drive up here I got to watch the sunset over the Pacific with the costal mountains in the background. I dug through my bag for awhile, but couldn’t seem to find my camera just now, so you’ll have to check back for the ocean views next time. Keep it real, -TJ
