Rippin!

for those of you who ride bikes, do you ever have those days where you go out and feel like your absolutely ripping the pedals off your bike. Yesterday was once again a tough day on the bike courtesy of the Uber secret mission impossible training program Kim has me on right now, and boy was I ripping! Nothing putting out sustained power WELL over your normal! yaya.

Back to Greenville
That being said, im excited to be coming back to racing. After a two week slip from racing, to bust my butt into shape, im excited to give the Greenville Road Race a run! Seth and I are heading south to check out US prochamps and to party with the pros for a night. I can't wait. Sunday should be a fun ride with some of the locals before we watch the big boys rip up Paris mountain. Should be a hoot.

The show that is Professional cycling
Although it has been a touch season for cycling, it is now getting to a very interesting and in my opinion a very interesting point. With the Vuelta Espania and Worlds just around the corner there are some big things to look forward to. Also with teams and sponsors changing a little its cool to see that an American team is going to be a heck of a show. Team Slipstream is getting not only the fun american additions of Tommy Danielson, And Dave Z. but also are getting magnus backstead, david millar, as well as matti white. Tony Cruz is heading to BMC so that should be a BLAST racing against him next year. And finally Big George is heading to T-mobile... wow. NUTS!

A look at doping puts the spotlight now on Alejandro Valverde... hes out for worlds which sucks considering he has always been one I thought was clean. It would be sad to know he's doping if he is, becuase this year it must not be working becuase he's been struggling and he doesnt look like this....

either way it's a pitty. 2 weeks until cross season. this should be a blast!
