So it’s looking like I’ve got the flu, no it’s mono, no it’s teburculosis, NO…actually it’s Valley Fever. I didn’t really know anything about this infectious disease until five days ago when my chest started to act up. I’ve definetly got the fever though. I’ve been poppin tylenols like candy.  After a couple really enjoyable 6hr trips to emergency care, I’m up in Phoenix to see a different doctor.  It doesn’t make any sense, one weekend I’m racing my bike enjoying everything, next weekend I’ve got more problems than the Belgians do with Boonen getting stuck at a railroad crossing.

Look at this joker at Gila…I found this picture floating around on cyclingnews while laying out on the couch;

It seems to me that since I left my exclusive rudy projects in his car after Bisbee he took it upon himself to give them a test drive. This is coming to an end. Thank you for a lot of e-mails, text messages and phone calls, from everyone thats been wondering how I’m doing. Lata’
