Tucson......Check
February 22, 2010Mt Lemmon was a great ride up....and down. I felt really good that day so it felt pretty easy and even spiced it up a little towards the top despite the lack of oxygen. I was surprised by how much snow there was up there. Makes sense since there is a ski hill-Ski Valley. The 2nd to last day we all went out on our mountain bikes to a place called fantasy Island and did a photo shoot with the legendary Canadian Cyclist photographer Rob Jones. Not quite sure why or how it the area got that name but oh well, fun flat and fast trails nonetheless. It was cool to run into Todd wells out on the trails too, he's always got something funny to say and always seems to be in a good mood.
Last day of the camp we were set to get out for a good 4-5 hour road ride, but 2 hours in, we found ourselves in survival mode as it started to howl and pour rain. Was insane how fast the temperature dropped and we were literally swimming in the streets of Tucson trying to get back to hotel hot tub, which we did and just jumped strait in with clothes on and all.
Had a good team dinner the final night, and had a couple well deserved brewskies. We even played some Kabush games, pretty hilarious stuff.
So Canada got beat by the USA 5-3 in mens hockey.....Not sure If it's a good thing I came back home since I can tell people aren't going to be to pumped up. Gotta hand it to the USA, 23 medals and counting to Canada's 8. There is still a lot of games left though and I am going to take it all in as well some quality rest before starting up again another big block leading up to the races. It's been super sunny in Victoria lately, and from what I hear, the trails are minty....Sick.
Wonder when I will get to ride some new S-Works bikes...
