My excitement to be on the DC this year is through the roof. My good friend in Phoenix received the call to help me set up a blog (my handling skills on the bike are an A+ yet my computer skills come in at a D-). After looking at a blog from a fast CX racer out of Wisconsin this past weekend, I knew that my blog also needed to be black. I told my friend to get some of that cool GT yellow in the header and this is what he came back with. I guess that is what happens in the late afternoon in phoenix when you don't have a zaskar, beer and bad ideas.

My two nephews came into town a few weeks ago caked in germs and smeared them all over my house for me to ingest in the middle of my base training. Trying to ride twenty hour weeks has been slashed in half and I am still a mess. Who needs base training anyway? I have both XC national championships right here in my backyard. Anyone coming in from out of town for nationals from the DC is required to track me down.
