I’ve been riding more and more now. This week the goal is to make it 2hrs everyday and increase my wattage to where it was previous to my valley fever setback. I can actually do the wattage, but I’m anerobic when i’m doing it and pretty tired soon after that so it really defeats the purpose. The weather here in CT feels like the rain forest, everytime I look outside it’s raining, really windy or both. A real change from Tucson living I was doing last month. Speaking of Tucson, I haven’t talked to zijachek lately, but he won a stage at Mt. Hood a couple days ago and sent me an e-mail not too long before that, he attached a small portrait he painted for me to make me feel better while I’ve been sick.

The last week of US racing has been great to watch, Marky and Jack Stone won CSC and Lancaster, Lancaster was a good race to follow on cyclingnews live updates. Sounded hard as usual and I read Wherry is back at it in the breaks and what not, so thats definetly a good sign since he’s goin to defend that title this Sunday. The good news is he keeps that jersey til’ Sept. regardless of how Sunday ends up. Philly is still a great race, whether it’s for the stars and bars or not. Thats all I’ve got as its pretty late here. Adios.
