Victory at Tour de White Rock



What an incredible day yesterday! I repeated my overall victory at the Tour de White Rock in B.C. It was a battle like non other that I have experienced in bike racing. I turned myself inside out so many times and dug to a completely different realm of pain to do it. The teammates rode incredible, and I didn’t want to let them down after setting me up so well and controlling the break. When Chris Horner hit out on on eof the steep hard climbs and I was able to follow, I new that I had it. This is a great feeling! I love this sport, it can be so unrewarding, but the feeling you get from completing the job with your best friends is unreal. Thanks guys!

I have to jump on the plane now as I write this back to Durango. A little rest and some good training. Next up is Elk Grove in Chicago, then the Tour of Utah. Beauty!
