Bitter sweet ending for me today. I had a great time riding for TARGETRAINING this week and was pleased to see that our hard work netted Mr. Pippy a top 10 on GC, but I'm bummed that it is over. The old timers on the team warned us this morning that the crit would be fast and furious with few finishers. I love these kind of crits. Pippy and I pulled a so pro move and rolled up to the front of the line after 99% of the field was lined up. Front row baby. Usually people will harass riders for this kind of maneuver, but they were afraid of my guns. Only something like 68 dudes finished the race today. That means that almost 100 people dropped out this week...pantsies. Oh the race, we rode around in circles, a group got away, it came back and there was a field sprint. Crits are much easier and shorter than climbing, so I think I may start to be a crit specialist, the only problem is I am lacking a sprint...

Headed home to Nor-Cal tomorrow. Actually I'm not sure where my home is right now...

One more picture of #1 fan and I on our wedding day...
