Just got some new kicks in from the guys up at D2 shoe and DAMN they are nice. Yep, more argyle, but a bit toned down from last year when all the solid panels were bright orange. More importantly, with a new production facility they are able to bang the shoes out quickly and with perfect duplication from pair to pair. I got these, slapped some cleats on, lining them up, with an older pair, and went out to ride. Not a change required and they felt perfect. Unreal. Thanks Don and Dan!
Just arrived in Italy for the Trophee laiguelia, one of the Italian season openers. We’re staying right on the water, the sun is shining and it’s almost 60. What more could we ask for… Not gonna say I wish I were at the tour of California right now - the boys are killin it but mother nature is getting even for the blessed weather of years past. Have fun out there guys:).

One thing I guess we could ask for actually: some good luck tomorrow. Everybody is on some surprisingly good form or has it coming and it’d be nice to capitalize on it and keep things going. Off in search of quality coffee and then a cruise along the coast. Already have a feeling that another update will be coming shortly…
