My year started with a jolt at Tour Down Under. Actually there was a crit a couple days before the TDU, and for me, it went not so good. I winded up leaving a chunk of my ass on the road with 7 laps to go… Safe to say I didn’t finish up too well [...]

After a very nice Christmas with my girlfriend in Gent, we have returned to Spain to put the final block in before heading for Down Under. Gent is an awesome city and it’s the first time I’ve seen belgium in December. A few days on the trainer but no big deal. New Years in Oliva [...]

The counter rolled over today to 26 for me. Yep, 26 years I’ve made it so far. Kinda hard to believe that actually cause I still feel the same as I did when I was 16… I’m really just a 16 year old kid at heart just riding my bike around looking for a bigger [...]

Well, actually not quite camping… we are staying at the Marriott in Javea close to the coast. We are getting together to jump start the 2011 season with some good riding and getting acquainted to our new machines outfitted with the latest of electronics(shifters)… I stumbled upon some of the best news besides getting new [...]

So my season was brought to an end with a stage 2 crash in Tour de Poitou Charentes in France. We were rolling with good momentum from the first stage. We didn’t get the win but we got the train all lined up for Kristoff for the finish which is a good improvement. Then with [...]

On a mostly flat, 138km stage of Tour de l’ain I had a go in the bunch sprint. In a crazy final Kilometer with 4 turns before the line. I came out of the final turn with 500 meters to go in great position. I was pinched a bit in the gutter by an FDJ [...]

I’m back in Gent, Belgium after an extended period in the US. It was good to be in the US and decompress a bit, race a bit, and even train a bit. Now it’s time to grit my teeth again though and hit some more racing hard. I’ll be doing a few Kermesse races in [...]

After a break after the Giro(part of it at least), I’m getting back to racing again with Philly and now Tour De Beauce. After Philly got a spend a week out in Northern California with my girlfriend in her small hometown of Etna. It was awesome with some great mountains all around. Did some good [...]

Stage two started out low key, the break went almost immediately and we settled into a nice temp. But after a couple hours, all hell broke lose. The roads of the netherlands are known for the “road furniture” and what have you, which made for an insane amount of crashes and close calls. At one [...]
