Peachtree City
Uncategorized April 14th, 2007Yesterday, after spending a week in Chattanooga (Thanks for the great training Eddy) Teddy and I made the journey to Peachtree City, GA. Peachtree City is where the TOG race hotel is located and is also where stage one of TOG starts.
Anyway, today has been pretty uneventful….actually it has been extremely boring! After a good week of training I needed to take today off so I can rest up for the tour. To pass the time I made a few bike adjustments and re-measured all of my measurements just to make sure they have not changed during the last couple of days.
Aside from that I took a nap earlier in the day and this is Teddy my roommate napping in the afternoon.
I also caught Davide Frattini adjusting the saddle on his bike from the balcony my hotel room….so I am not the only one who adjust shit. I really hope Glenn and Coach O. see this.
Speaking of Coach O….after doing a quick pinch test this afternoon I officially have less abdominal fat than he does which means he inherits the “custard guts” nickname. Either he has gotten fatter or I have gotten leaner….I really hope it is the latter!
Time to go to the team presentation.
later, g.

So it’s not just you and Davide. Of Leif Hoste:
While the Belgian wont have the special suspension of the Trek-bikes from Discovery Channel he rode last season, he notes that it wont make much of a difference come race time. “Those gadgets don’t get you going, it’s more important to have good legs”, Hoste smiled. Nevertheless the man from Maldegem, Belgium is a freak when it comes down to tune a bike. “I’ve been adjusting my saddle at least a hundred times since my first training, a bit forward then more to the back again, up and down… it’s something I’m really focused on,” Hoste said.

Thanks for that saddle sore…that is rather comforting to me! I will definitely sleep better tonight!
