It’s becoming a tiring month, full of travel, training, racing and a lack of sleep. Started with two 14-hour flights within a week to Canberra, Australia and back for the World Championship. I happened to pick up a cold on the way back to LA, which knocked me out for six days the following week. After a week of being stick I struggled a bit to get on the bike. I somehow managed to get myself to the Over the Hump race in a respectable manner. Coming up this weekend I have back-to-back races this weekend at Bonelli Park. I start off the weekend with Cyclocross Saturday, and the Final U.S. Cup on Sunday, followed by a Tom and I cruising to Vegas for Interbike. I’ll be at the Interbike outdoor demo on Monday, Tuesday with Randy @ H2O Overdrive, feel free to come by and put your drink on Randy Tab

Then I’m back in the flying sardine can, homeward bound to Australia’s “Natural State” Tasmania. It will be nice to once again suck in the world’s freshest air, and smell the sea breeze. Five days on the island and I’m back to Canberra to join the boys for the World’s biggest 24-hour event. Hopefully we can defend the winning effort we’ve achieved over the last several years.
