Hope it’s a great day and a great year!
I am not really sure about that first part, but I am hopeful on the second. We just went into Escrow again and here’s hoping that the third time is the charm.

It’s funny, I never really think about my birthday until yours comes along. Then it reminds me that I am getting old. Gee thanks!
today I went looking for them up at the Clear Creek pass on the Angeles Forest Hwy. Then I dropped back down to join in the fun at the Rosebowl. I made a few hard efforts, but after all the intervals I was doing up the mountains I was pretty spent. I need to find my fitness in the next couple weeks. While the week-ends efforts were solid for me, I know that I cannot go up to Mt. Hood climbing like this. I mean I felt like I was pretty close to being there when the stuff hit the fan on the first big climb on Sunday. I just didn’t quite have the that extra cog in my legs that I needed to hang with the guys at the front. Still, I hung in the race to the finish and practiced good tactics right to the finish line. In fact I should have won the sprint out of my little three man group, except the other guy changed his line on me and if I would have kept on the gas he would have put me into the barricades. For 18th place on the day it wasn’t exactly worth my time to file a protest with the USCF officials. Bottom line was that I knew that I had won that sprint, and I feel good about that.
I made some really solid efforts today and my recovery has been pretty good. I was 18th out of 26 in the uphill TT, but I was able to ride over my threshold for fifteen minutes. This is far and away the best effort I have been able to produce in at least two years. Obviously after my results though I was not looking for GC and focused instead on trying to deliver one of our star sprinters Aron Ghadia to the stage win in the circuit race.
Unfortunately, a three man break got up the road. And while I almost brought it back single handedly, in the end I could not get anyone else to close the gap despite my getting us within just a couple of seconds or it. So Aron won the field sprint for fourth. Hopefully I will recover nicely for tomorrow. While it is a pretty short road race (41 miles) it features some pretty tough little climbs. I will try to post again tomorrow with the post race re-cap.
