I need to say good work to T.Danielson in his first GT stage win, I was late to meet some friends for a ride because I couldn’t pry myself away from the live updates! What a good way to win a stage and move up a bit on the GC, good job deeze. The cross’ season is here, the leaves are changing colors in New England and that crisp air is coming quickly too. So this year I would say the bigger news from me is that I’m not heading back to Belgium or Europe for the CX season. Maybe a small trip for some world cup race, but I am looking forward to being home for halloween, thanksgiving and hopefully christmas, although we’ll see what the tides bring. Lately it’s been a lot of running around, Most importantly I am finally getting my training load going to where it needs to be. I moved to Massachusetts to live with a few friends for the cross’ season and I must say the roads here are so much better then in CT, good steady climbs, dirt roads, nice loops, a couple crazy drivers, but I’m pretty happy to have the training partners. Since I moved back to MA, I decided I should take a couple classes and get that college finished, so I don’t have to listen to everyone tell me I’m an idiot for going to college for three years blah blah blah. Now I am offically a “matriculated continuing education student” at westfield state college on Wednesday nights from 4pm to 9pm, yeaaah. I only need 24 more credits towards that stamped piece of paper w/ my name on it, nott bad. What else? I bought a new car from a nun and hope to buy some twenty inch rims promptly. Its a 1990 Chevy Caprice, sky blue…Its tight, look for me with Mike Jones, the white one and his crew, rollin’ in dat.  Looks like next weekend will be my first UCI cross’ race of the year, It’ll be close, but I should even have some bikes together by then, but with Vegas and all that coming up, its just crazy for all the bike companys right now. By Glaawwsttahh’ I can have everything dailed in. Speaking of Mike Jones, he is coming out to Glawstaah as well, so if you see this guy in the pit wearing some jelly belly garb, you’ll know he’s with me. I’ll be in Vegas in two weeks so, you’ll be able to catch up with me at the Jelly Belly Sport Beans booth or the black jack tables. Til Later…
