A ton of stuff has happened in the last couple weeks and I’ve been saying “man I want to update my blog” It just hasn’t happened. 1) internet is abundent, but not wirelessly, so I don’t have any way of getting my pictures from my phone and computer over to my blog. So, this post is going to be a little less exciting on that front. For me my trip to California has been great. I finally got out of cold Massachusetts and was able to get some good mileage in my legs and some much needed sun. San Dimas was an interesting race. I’ve never raced it before this year, and for the most part, I haven’t been so lucky with my early season form/fitness/luck. If its not injury its ussually something else. On Saturday I couldn’t believe my luck on the circut race, I flatted twice, which suck’d. I was a little stunned too, when the Shimano wheel car gave me a wheel, sent me off (thank you) but then, flew by me after the change and I was left out in the middle of no-where doing a 15minute time trail to get back onto the group. No caravan at San Dimas so it was tough. This week has been fun, my teammates and I have spent the week between races training together, looking at the courses coming up and practicing our TTT (team time trail) for the upcoming tour of Georgia. Today is the first day of redlands and starts out with a uphill 10min tt. Should be interesting to see the top 20 as I think it’s gonna be stacked with quality riders. Talk to everyone soon.

Long time since my last post and for the most part, I’ve been enjoyin the relaxation, riding a bit and just being home for a couple weeks in cold Massachusetts. I went on a great vacation in the Bahamas to small island off the coast of Nassau. Emily and I had a great trip and barely saw any another tourist which was nice. Now I’ve never been to Todd/Meg/Troy Wells Mexico pad. But I think this spot would give it a run for it’s money, The Bahamas is pretty sweet. Just harder to get to then Mexico. So you kno what I’m talking about…from the back deck Besides getting tan, I’ve been riding a fair bit, slowly getting ready for my upcoming road races. I don’t think I’m going to be breaking anyones legs at the April races, but the motivation is high and everything is going well. Ever since last seasons tendinitis in my achilles tendon, i’ve been into getting my cleats pretty far back on my cycling shoes, to take some of the tension off the achilles. This year it just wasn’t happening the way I wanted it to, so. I went outside of my comfort circle and drilled my shoes to accommodate the odd cleat position I desired. I’m no carpenter, like Mike Jones, but I was happy with the way it turned out. When I started the job I didn’t actually think I was gonna get the job done with out ruining the shoes! Speaking of Lake shoes, I just got their new carbon Mtn. bike shoes. I’m looking forward to trying them out, Lake has the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever ridden in and I’m happy with this new upgrade! How about taxes? I finally finished mine up and I learned a lot this year about that whole credit process, doing taxes, 1099 forms, separate accounts for business and personal stuff. It’s been a lot to take in, but once its all finished its not too bad and it’s something you only have to learn once (which is good!) I’m finishing up a cool mix tape for everyone to download for anyone that is wondering how the DJ’ing is going. Hopefully before I leave to California in a week, I’ll upload it for all to download. (I’m still a beginner though) Seeya!

This post is going to be short, but since I wasn’t going to write anyways, you shouldn’t be too disappointed. It’s Sunday morning and the first of my official time off the bike. A couple of my roommates and I are heading to a small mountain in western, MA called Berkshire East. It’s about 40minutes from the house and snow was falling here all night, so you know its gonna be good. I’ve got a cup full of home made mud water and we’re off and running. I had to post this video someone showed me. Its too funny not too.
