WhoOooo. So many good things are goin down lately that it’s been messing up my sleep. I’ve been losing hours of countin’ sheep at night for fear of a missed opportunity and I still can’t decide if it’s a good or bad thing…

This month marks the first of a regular monthly column I wrote with someone I like to call a good friend, Clinton Sparks. If you’re a regular on my blog, you know Sparks is a music guru on everything new! He and I are bringing the readers of ROAD Magazine a ‘Get Familiar’ segment, which will be on shelves in July. We’re going to be bringing you a look at what’s hot in the music world every month! My hope is that together we can help readers discover new music and keep people riding, driving and training happy!

My schedule is nailed down for the next 6 months and if you think I’m fakin it, take a peek at my “calendar section” or click here I can tell you just about every single place I’m going to be from today until December. If I’m going to be close to your home town and you want to hang, shoot me a line in my contact section. I’m down for just about anything.

I also wrote a cool article on VeloNews about my friend Anthony. If you didn’t read it, Anthony is a pretty talented guy I’m excited about helping move up the totem pole… Article Here

I just nailed down some more details for a cyclo-cross camp I’m going to be part of in the Washington D.C area on Friday evening Aug. 21 and then all day on Saturday Aug. 22. (more information to follow on that next wk) I’m also inviting EVERYONE to come ride the Livestrong ride in Philadelphia on Sunday Aug 23rd. If your interested you can join my team “Team Health Awareness” and ride with me and my crew (info here). We’ll eat sport beans and shred for a 100 miles for the best kind of ride. One that helps heal and inspires millions! If you can’t make it and just want to donate towards my ride, you can also find my section at that link above.

Currently I’m racing the Nature Valley Stage race in Minnesota, so far it’s been a good event with hard racing. This morning we had a tour of Park Tool USA which has it’s headquarters here in MN. It was really cool. Park is unique in that everything is done for the most part in house, construction of everything, R&D, pictures, random ideas and projects all go down here in Minnesota. It’s hard for a lot of company’s to compete with China these days…But Park continues to make most of its line here in the states. After this I’m back in Massachusetts for a couple days and then to St.Louis for a one day race and then from there I’m heading straight to Durango, CO to sleep high in preparation for round two with China. Tibetian highlands baby! In an effort to not get my ass handed to me again, I’m going high leading into the event. D-town, I’m coming back! Very excited jam in Durango again. I wonder if the Wells are gonna be in town? Gotta get out on a spin before tonight’s criterium. SEYA
