Happy 2009

Passing the time here in Belgium, one day at a time. We have two races coming up, one in Sint-Niklaas on Friday and one in Turvuren on Sunday. After that, Ryan and I are throwin our bikes in a box and heading to Spain and doing 10 days in the sun before the last couple races in the middle of January. It’s not super hot in Spain, but its in the low 60’s which is good enough for me considering I haven’t been in shorts since late October. Jason over at crank brothers did a feature on the CB website, you can see that here. The first person to tell me what’s wrong in that interview, I’ll send them some type of Crank Bros. shwag when I get back in February. Looking at the Tour of California profiles today and it looks like it’s going to be pretty rough and tough this year. Nine days, lots of climbing and some big boy names are planning on showin face. If we’re in its gonna be a race to remember. Racin up Palomar at that time of year is gonna be chilly. I’m sure a lot of you have downloaded this, but if you haven’t it’s a free album by GirlTalk. The guy has taken thousands of music samples and put them all together, some like it, some hate it. It’s free so its not gonna break the bank, although you can donate if you like. Seeya!

Also Check out my latest diary entry / interview with Lars Boom over @ VeloNews.com

Homie, Crank Bros didn’t link your tune samples! D’oh! If that is your mistake you wanted found, no need to send schwag, stoke out some Belgie kid with it and spread the CB love in za motherland. Just don’t give it to Sven’s kid who’s probably already has the Shimano PRO hook up and is rumored to be entering the beloften next year at like 6 years old.

Dude, you are flying. It’s rad to be reading about the throw downs and bring it hard tomorrow and Sunday. Thanks for yelling at me at Nats although I couldnlt get the words out to you to put a bullet in my head on the next lap.

Best of luck. Be well.

Hilarious interview with Boom, Jeremy. If “rockin the rainbow” doesn’t get Lars any ladies in the low countries, imagine how useless they’d be in North America.
Congrats on the great results and good luck this weekend.

Oh Jpow, why must you put an editing challenge out there? You know I go crazy for these things. Needless to say, I’m entirely sure the true answer is NONE of these things, probably some obscure cycling fact.

1) Sentence one: year’s with an apostrophe
2) Jpow and TJ not capitalized, yet Stu is capitalized
3) US needs some periods, U.S.
4) “cossers” = “crossers” as someone already mentioned
5) Paragraph 2, second to last sentence – ends in a preposition, didn’t they watch Schoolhouse Rock?? Come on…
6) runners = runner’s
7) Neglected to link your tunes, as previously mentioned…Blasphemy!!!!!! getta-way car…really? I thought it was get-away, silly me.
9) General lack of capitalization and punctuation, too many to list. I guess CB is going for the “trendy” editorial style, which is perfectly fine. Perhaps I’m a bit like Stu, “an old dog.”
