It's been a while

So I though, why the hell not update? I'm sitting here with both knee injured, I can barely turn my pedals. I've screwed up my petellar tendons so I'm out for a while.. shitty news considering I was gonna hit up some major miles this week. This is the first weekend in over a year where I'm not going to go for a ride. Kinda hard to think of like that but it's true...
Anyways! I'm liking the "no school" approach to life, but it's inevitable that I have to go back... I'm just takin my sweet time.
Last weekend Dave Zabriskie came to town. He's a pro cyclist who beat Lance Armstrong stage 1 of the Tour de France in a time trial (almost impossible to do). He got to wear the leader's jersey for 3 days until he crashed and lost it... tough luck





Here he is on stage 1 of this year's tour de france


Takin the leader's yellow jersey


and then... he ripped up some real nice spandex

Check out my yellow shoe covers. i made them myself and jp's wearing a pair too. it's my new business venture!










things slowed down as we hit the waterfront and jp and I started the deep chatting

So that was a pretty fun weekend, right? Hope everyone out of town is doing well!
