A spring break
Life April 17th, 2008Although not so spring like right now here in Boulder… In true Colorado form the sun is back out and things should be clear by this afternoon. Having not dealt with the winter most people have here it’s actually a nice little treat for me - as long as it’s the only one.
Apologies for the lack of roubaix follow up, it’s been a crazy few days. The race was a pretty wild experience, and confirmed my belief that roubaix isn’t for me. I’m stoked to have taken part, as it’s an amazing race, but once is good. Martijn put out an unreal ride for 4th - he’s going to be a superstar here soon - remember the name. Maggy unfortunately was out of the race with mechanical issues, otherwise I’m confident they both would have been up in the action. After watching maggy sacrifice so much for that race and be out with bad luck was tough. Amazing what a role it plays in our game.
I spent my morning hunting for the big break group and by the time we approached the first section of pave was already pretty smoked. After that it was help out in any way possible, be around to give a wheel if need be, and jump in a car to the finish after arenberg. Then off to a dinner with a few sponsors that came over to share the weekend with us, and after a short night’s sleep I hopped on a plane back to the states.
After a few months of racing it’s a real treat to be home and “get away”(vacation at home?!?) a little bit. Amazing how quickly the breaks go however…before I know it I’ll be headed back over and back at it again. Better take advantage…
