Marty Gilbert made everyone crepes this morning. They were not exactly crepes. I told him they were pancakes but, he insisted that they were crepes.

Ben, Dan, and I arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon. We arrived not knowing where we were going or how we were getting there but, were soon surprised. We recieved a call from our SRAM Secretary of Transportation Mr. Ritzler who informed us that all the arrangements were made for our pick up and delivery to our host housing. We were even more amazed to be picked up in a strech limo. All in all it was cool sunroof, radio, and bar. But, the driver was quite mean and rather angry at the fact that we had three bicycle bags. After he threw a fit, called his superior, and then proceeded to jam as much stuff into the trunk of the limo and secure it by bun gee cord, we were off.

The A-Team just gained its newest member!

I’ve been home for just over a week now. Its been good. It was kind of hot early last week but now the weather is perfect.

I’ve been trying to get the good training in for the rest of the season. The training doesn’t seem to go to well while on the road and I have been on the road alot lately.

My girlfriend Cherise and I, have seen a bunch of movies, ate Thai food with friends James and Denika, and even hit the boardwalk in this week I have been home. Its been fun.

My SRM, it seems to break everytime I actually need it for training intervals. Its still getting repaired…frustrating.

I was going through my phone and came accross all kinds of pictures I forgot about. So, here is one for Dietrich.
