Glenco and Lake Bluff GP's



Wow - two fast races down! Little spin in the morning early with the Now and Novartis team mechanic who is so graciously giving us a ride to Tulsa Oklahoma and then a couple days of RR, Training and getting settled in before Tulsa Tuff! Meanwhile, here's what we've been up to!




Hanging out with little kids.

Feeling like super heros at local elementary schools.

warm welcome from our host family here in Glenco.

Glenco Gran Prix

Well, the race season is officially in full swing for me.  Being on the road for the next month should be quite interesting.  From travel, to racing, to working a bit remotely, to experiencing new people, places, and of course coffee - i'm sure i'll come back a little different than when I left.  It's true when they say life experiences change you.  I think this bike racing path will really prepare me for handling stressful situations in the future.  There's nothing like pre race jitters, especially with races being so late in the day.  Have the whole day to process, and prepare for what's to come.  Luckily - i've got some great entertainment to help me handle it.
