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!

We have been racing every night since Wednesday. Tour de Gastown went pretty good for us, but still no victory. The Symmetrics team is riding super strong. We have been so close. Evan finished 5th at Gastown. The following night was Giro de Burnaby. We had a descent evening but the leadout got pinched on the inside and that was the end of it for our sprinters.

We are now in White Rock finishing up the trip of racing and it has been good for me personally so far. Not off to as good a start as last year. I just didn’t have it in the hill climb and finished 3rd. Tonight was the crit and I felt good, went into the last two corners in 3rd wheel on Andrew Pinfold’s wheel with Chris Horner leading it out. We almost crashed in the last 200 meters. I hit out to late into the final corner that is a downhill sprint. Both Horner and some other dude got me at the line. I finished 4th on the day. So here we are again. So close to a win, but so far away. I am either sitting in 1st or second now on points because it is an omnium. It will be a good battle tomorrow and i have 134 Kilometers to figure it out with the help of some good teammates.
