The last 59 days have flown by. It seems like just yesterday I was climbing aboard the Greyhound bus in Peterborough at 5:45 am headed for Tucson. I had great spring training down south, as always the weather was perfect and I come home with tan lines. Something every cyclist needs. I fully enjoyed these [...]

After a month of eating, sleeping, breathing cycling I found myself madly packing again.
