my team bike is sexy! our new team kit is sexy! and our team is going to kick some serious ass this year! theres really no other way of writing it. we have some new additions to the team that will help broaden the programs strengths and help us be as dominant in the NRC as we have been in the USA crits series in 2009.
Today the team got to do a serious training ride in NC that is called "triple hump". the ride consists of a hundred mile loop that spans the three largest climbs in the winston-salem area. We finally got the oppertunity to show off how hard each of us have been training for the past 4 months by racing each other to the summit of each of the three climbs.
I am pretty pleased with my form at this point. I certinaly am not in shape to be leading the team in the races in Cali next week, but I am certain that I will prove to be a useful tool for the GC guys over the course of the two stage races. I really hope that I will be in a position to get a result in either of the crits, but its hard to say how things will pan out. I have yet to do a crit this season, or a field sprint! so we shall see how this winters longer miles and slighly less intense training will have impacted my speed.
Another cool thing was that the team had a photographer driving with us and taking shots of us as we rode. I hope that I can get a few of the pictures to post on my blog.
Right now we are on route from NC to Athens to meet our Georgian sponsers and hopefully find some more pleasent weather. I have been slightly absent from my blog lately, but I assure you that I have much to write and it will be updated soon again.
