Hello?

Well I will start this off with a big o'l SORRY. I know its lame that I havent posted anything since... um... June. Ya thats it, june. Wow that was a long time ago. Well a lot has occurred since then. Finished up the season, rode well but never got a personal W but was an asset to the team. So after a hard season i signed a lease for a new apartment in Boulder with my friend Tag who is a really good downhill ski racer and is racing for the CU ski team this year. Started classes in the fall and have been training a lot and working on my education at the same time. Sometimes this proves to be hard but luckily i havent had to cut class time short for riding time.
One cool thing that happened this fall was going to Grand Cayman Island for a "bike race" The race was temporarily cancelled due to a Hurricane. Of course, we knew about the hurricane prior to leaving but me and team mate Stetina figured we were up for a little adventure... Flew to Miami thought, well if they cant fly us to the Island worse thing that happens is that we have to fly back home. Fortunately we met up with the only other team mate I was able to convince that it was a GOOD idea to fly into a Hurricane and we got on the last flight to the island. Got there the rain and wind were crazy. One cool thing was that Christian VdV had actually been up for an adventure aswell and was there with his wife. In the end we did get some solid riding in but more time was spent swimming with Stingrays, Snorkeling and sampling the local food and of course the Pina Coladas. Wow, those are good.

Stetina, showing how the fierce wind could hold you up.

Stingrays feel weird



We did get some racing in too

Christian won over all and Pete got the stage

On the final day we went snorkeling. I almost had to lay the smack down on a huge fish.

Well now all I have to do is keep training and I look forward to racing soon. I think I might do some collegiate racing to build up for the more important races this spring. Ok well this whole catch up thing is tiring. If anyone still reads this I will try and keep up with the updates.
