Crap! A month ago I passed this up. For whatever reason, I didn't think anything of it, like entering a secret code you get under the bottle of a soda cap. Now seven of my friends from back home are getting paid 3000 dollars, an additional 1400 for food to ride across the country in 55 days while some stupid vodka company pays for hotels every night, and carries their gear for them.

Has there ever been a better set up? Ever?

2:35 is the biggest jump I've ever seen. Ever.

Heading Home

Well, It's been a damn good year. I finished my last class a couple minutes ago and will head home early next week. With the hustle and bustle of school gone I find it much easier to get my mind back on bikes. I have no paper training plan, just an idea of riding four or five days a week and throwing in intervals every once in a while. I am not advocating that anyone jump on the Linden method of training bandwagon, but it seems to work for me. If anybody happens to be in Arkansas look me up and I can take you our riding on some really sweet unknown mountain trails.
Oh, and if you see Matt, give him some love. He has had a really rough week.

A View From the Road

Gotta love it when your evening recovery ride on the road takes you past scenes like this. Bikes are pretty cool I guess.
In other news, a number of team members will be headed to Spartenburg, SC this weekend for the Stump Jump. Stay tuned for a full race report.
