Day 54 = No Diet Soda
First off I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Chirstmas/Hanukkah/ or whatever you celebrate.
Things have greatly improved for me since I last updated. I made it to Mike S. house yesterday and met his wife Nicole. I will admit I was a bit nervous showing up at their door since I really did not know either of them.
I had absolutely no reason to be nervous at all because Mike and his wife are AWESOME! They are helping me out so much with a place to stay, dinner, showing me rides, and helping me find an apartment. I was starting to crack a bit the last few days after camping in my car and not knowing what I was doing or where I was going. However, I have really de-cracked over the past 24 hours thanks to Mike and Nicole!!! It even got sunny today!
Did the Sacramento group ride this morning and it went well. I met Russ Hamby, who I had met before and never really talked to, on the ride. He is another good guy and was telling me where to turn on the group ride. The ride was pretty fast and needless to say I blew all of the shit out of my legs from traveling the last few weeks! I am back……..yeehaw!
I also got recruited by a local team. One of the local guys was talking with me after the ride and asked if I wanted to ride on their team! I had to say sorry and but I am racing for Health Net this year………Mike loved that one!
Tonight I am invited to Mike’s parents house down the road for Christmas dinner. I hope they have Christmas cookies and egg nog………non-alcoholic of course :-) .
Later,
