This is going to be a brief update, but at least its an update. Today’s am time trial went well. I was pleased with how I felt and placed 8th in a tightly packed GC The circuit race was very uneventful. Going around a 2.2 mile triangular course at a good tempo pace within the peleton. No attacks or breaks were even attempted on this flat and fast course,k so I just tried to avoid the craziness amongst the group. The best part was when some dude nailed a tripod-freestanding road sign with about 500 meters to go. This was right in front of me so I was pleased to see that he kept it upright!

Between races I road some amazing canyons with spectactular views of the ocean. I took some pics from this adventure and will post them once the weekend is over and I have some time. It was some of the most incredible scenery that I’ve ever ridden through, all on a 10 foot wide ribbon of pavement.

Tomorrow is the main event, the road race, which features a sizeable, mile-long climb. I’m pumped about the fact that we get six rides up it! I may be able to get a recap on here Sunday evening, but if not then expect to see the details on Monday. Keep it Real, TJ
