Redlands is over…and that means my 2007 California racing season has come to a close….yeeehaw! I was definitely a little disappointed that I did not finish the final stage of Redlands today since I thought I had the legs to do so….but on the positive side I did last longer than Hollywood Menzies and in fact I have beaten him in the last three races. For some reason I thought that was important to mention…sorry Karl On top of that my saddle actually felt pretty good…the first time since I replaced a broken seat post a month back!

Also congrats again to my teammate Ben who once again rode like a champion and finished third overall!

Anyway tomorrow I will be embarking on a lovely twenty hour van ride back to Boulder so I should have some good pictures when I get home. The one positive about riding in the van is that I won’t have to use up all of my Dramamine. Plus, I am going to need a piss bottle so that leaves me with an excuse to drink a liter of Diet Pepsi! Yep, I am trying to quit again…it will be the third time this week actually!

Since I have not been home (Boulder for those of you that have forgotten) for three months I wonder if Frank, Karl, Wes, and Bryan will remember me….or more importantly I if Wes fixed my car that he smashed into a tree? I hope so…otherwise I will have to smash him!

See you back here in a few days and wish me safe travels.

later, g.
