This is Rob from Bread. He is the owner and operator of the local bakery here in Durango (the best coffee and baked goods in all the land). He came out on the Boure bike fest ride today and instead of rocking a helmet, he wor his turban. I think he is part of the axis of evil with his cookies and pastries. Another weapon of mass destruction. I threw up a few more photos that are on flickr, check them out.

Wow, sorry for the lack of updates. It has been over a week now. Well allot of things happened last week. Big things for me and I am very excited.

First, I re-signed with Jittery Joe’s for next season. I will be back again for another year of racing with the flaming coffee cups and mini coopers. I am very excited about this. Jittery Joe’s is a great program with a bunch of good riders and great guys. The management is great and the support from everyone in Georgia is awesome. I think next season is going to be a good year for cycling and hopefully a good year for me on the racing front.

Another new development in my life is that I have signed on with Colorado Premier Training. In the recent past I have done some coaching as an intern for college and also on my own to help some of the aspiring local cyclists. It has gone really well to say the least. I will be working with CPT as a coach. I am hoping to get lots of information out of the new wind tunnel that they just opened in Colorado Springs and have already began the process of trying to get some time in it. I need all the help I can get to make my time trial better. Tune up the engine and the position and hopefully I can have a go next season.

My off week was great! I ate, ate some more, ate some more, and then after that I drank a few beers, and ate some more. It was a good break and much needed. I have been back in the saddle for the last week now and actually felt pretty strong for not riding in a week on the last hard ride I did. I am just trying to be fast enough in Vegas not to be an embarassment. The cross season is just long enough that if you come out swinging to soon, you will be down for the count before making all the rounds.

That’s about it. I will try to keep the updates more frequent now. Thanks for stopping by the site.
