Okay that was sort of lame but it is the truth.  Next year I will be officially riding for the Priority Health Professional Cycling team.  I am definitely looking forward to the upcoming year and and happy to be reunited for Coach Olson  (my coach and owner of Priority Health along with his wife Cheryl) whom was part of my first professional team Advantage Benefits Endeavour. I am ready to win some frickin’ bike races!

On that note I am actually in Michigan at Coach Olson’s house.  It is a bit different being here now compared to when I was here last fall with a broken back.  Instead of a  broken back I only have a broken scaphoid. Maybe next fall when I come back I will only have a broken baby toe?  This weekend Mark is going to show me his top secret weight lifting program so I can get huge and look really good next season…… thus being one step closer to making that elusive cover of Men’s Health.  I think it might make me fast also?

The flight to Grand Rapids, Michigan this morning was a rough one for me.  To start with I had to get up at 4:30AM and leave the house by 5:00 AM,  Thanks Frank for bringing me to the airport at such a ridiculous hour!

Not only did I have to get up early but before flying I always take Dramamine becuase I am soft and get motion sickness.  However, today I dropped my only dramamine in the urinal while I was urinating.  Then I went to buy some more but the credit card machine was down at the airport store and I had no cash.  Needless to say I broke out in sweats and got pukey on the plane but I did not have to use the little white bag.  It was a small victory but I did have to regroup for about a half an hour after getting off the plane.

Time for some green beans and a movie with coach Olson and one of his Professional Hockey Players and girlfriend .
