Well if you haven't heard, I sold my house.... again! So far, so good.... everything looks like it should go off without a hitch. My closing is on May 13th, with me hitting the road for North Carolina shortly afterwards. So it looks like it's finally happening, which couldn't make me happier.Last week I spent 4 days down in Georgia and what a great experience that was. I travelled with friend and teammate Will Botens. We got some great rides in and saw 3 stages of the Tour de Georgia. We saw the Stage 4 Team Time Trial at Road Atlanta, the finish of Stage 5 in Dahlonega and the mountainous Stage 6 up on Hogpen Gap. It was so cool getting close up photos of the best of American cycling. I'll definitely be back next year, and with it only being a few hours away from my new home.... an added bonus.
Last Sunday I raced at the USAC Bloomer Cross Country, which I totally thought I'd have a terrible race at. I ended up finishing a strong 2nd place in the Elite/Expert Single Speed Class. That was all following a 12 hour drive from Georgia on Saturday night and riding and climbing 6,000' on Friday. I felt cooked before the race even started, but I guess I still had something left in the tank. In the end, I'm very pleased of my result.... especially after all the miles I rode so close to race day.
Well, this will be a busy 10 days. Lots of packing and of course.... there's always work, but I'm really looking forward to my move to North Carolina.... now less than 2 weeks. Oh boy.
Happy trails until next time.
