Athens, originally uploaded by sevenpelicans.

Athens was lame. Slowest Athens I have ever done and easily the most dangerous. A group got away early which I swore had Hartley in it. So we were happy but, we come to find out a few Radioless laps later that he wasn’t in the move. The move lapped and the crashing commenced. I literally sat last wheel for 10 laps and watched 3 crashes. One which took out more that half the field. That’s when I just shook my head and found the nearest exit. I don’t even now why I even race bike sometimes. All my teammates look like this pic.

Only in Athens can you get a coffee with a cyclists face on it and a juice box for apple juice at Waffle House.

Get off the plane into the van and I see this. Nydam has homemade himself some compression tights out of arm warmers, tight old socks, and masking tape? Ny-dog is probably one of the most interesting guys on the team.
