So, we’re in the French speaking part of Belgium now. 
I’m working on my French daily. I downloaded a pamphlet titled ‘crash course to French.’ It’s actually saved me a couple times now, I can’t say I’m slaying the French women with my 12 words of French, but at least I’m working on it. Merry Christmas / Happy New Year to everyone who’s been reading my blog. The racing over here has been interesting so far. Last week we hit the race in Zeddam, Netherlands, where I raced the world champs back in 06′. I was completely shelled in 06′ when I did worlds and ended up 35th. I’m a lot happier and fresher these days. I was able to make it to the front of the race and was really happy. I accomplished a goal of mine that I’ve had for the last 4+ years. It wasn’t a world cup, but it was an amazing day for me as a rider. 
With that said, tomorrow is the world cup in Hofstade, Belgium. I usually don’t love the course in the sand, but I’ve been working on my running, staying positive, we’ve got the right tires glued and the support is top this year, so with some luck I’ll have fun and get in there again. 
What else? The euro camp guys are awesome, it was nice to re-unite with a lot my Belgian friends and give everyone a big Belgian style hug and a Flemish hellow! Mario took my dad up to the beaches of west Flanders and Brugge since he’s never been, which he loved. Last night Matt Pacocha and his wife Cathy came over and Tim, Lyne, Matt, Cathy, our host family and my father and I all had an awesome Christmas eve dinner and opened a couple presents, it felt awesome, we have a huge tree and the fireplace goin’. So thats pretty much the update. I’m here, I’ll be updating, thanks for coming through. If your looking for that motivation to get on the bike, just download Clinton Sparks new mix tape, its un-real, thank you Clinton Sparks for that Christmas present to all. It is the sickest mix-tape ever. For free, for me and everyone else. Here’s the LINK, just download it, trust me.
Seeya.

Jethro-
Keep your nose to the grindstone. I hear you are coming to visit California, give your cousins a holler, and we’ll take you out and get you tipsy. Or at least try to grow some hair back on those girlish legs you got.

Jeremy,
Good luck over there!!! Give em hell!! Hey, I just checked out the Clinton Sparks mix….. great stuff!! You should head over to this site:

Very similar style. I leave it playing in the background while I edit my images. It’s cool to hear some of the older stuff “repurposed” and mixed in with the new stuff. Give it a listen and see what you think.

J.P.
We were reading velonews and came across a web site that you should check out. Crossresults.com seems to think you and Tim are a couple of sandbaggers. I can’t believe they think their not liable for slander over comments and charts posted on the internet. Good results in last two races tell Tim congrads again and Ryan to remember head shots take a few months to heal. Call when your back in the States I’ll have the paper work ready for filing. Call soon………
