Lance Armstrong powered by RadioShack (extension cords & batteries)

I joke about the partnership but I'm actually really excited to see the make-up of this team next year. Who comes over from Astana? Pro Tour status? The level of commitment from RadioShack? 1 year? 2 Years? 3 years? I can say right now I hope Popo, Jani, Rubiera, Horner and Levi move over to RadioShack.

Although Lance is NOT going to win the Tour he doesn't seem to be slowing down much at all. I can only hope that maybe next year with a years worth of racing back in his legs he can find the legs that won him 7 Tours. One thing is for sure. I'll be in France next year.

I love this quote from The Onion article.
"Even the name 'RadioShack'—can you imagine two less appealing words placed next to one another?" Day said. "What is that, some kind of World War II terminology? Are ham radio operators still around, even? Aren't we in the digital age?"

I Love Lamp. I Love Massages.

After a busy day in the office and a quick happy hour with my good friend Neely I made my way towards Symmetry Therapeutic Massage Spa. Symmetry is a big and very important sponsor of the Primal/HART Cycling Team helping us recover, train and race faster. Celeste, co-owner of Symmetry, worked hard around my collarbone and helped get the blood flow going in the legs. Best part about Symmetry is they travel with us and not many elite amateur teams have that luxury. It will be great to have them with us at Salida in a few weeks time. Some fast crits in Denver this weekend and I can only hope my now fresher legs can help get my teammate Nick his dream win. GAME ON! So if you're in town check them out. www.symmetrymassagedenver.com

Could it be a Nike Pro Tour 2010 Lance Armstrong Team?

I guess we'll find out soon enough and hopefully they take Contador with them.

The mountain views never get old

Enjoyed a long ride up to Estes Park with some good friends and fellow teammates. Weather was perfect in the mountains but a bit hot around Boulder. My first long training ride since my surgery and the collarbone held up just fine. Some rice and eggs and I'm off to do the same today. The mountain views never get old.

It feels good to be back

I decided to race the Golden training crit. this evening and it went very well considering it was my second ride outdoors since my broken collarbone. After two months of 'training' on a trainer indoors I just had no clue were my fitness was so it was important I find out asap. It turns out not too bad but still lots of work to do before I can maybe throw down in a Pro 1/2 sprint. I stayed in the far far back of the pack today so I had an out just in case there was a crash. The race was fast with guys from Garmin and BMC throwing down and although I was suffering I expected to hurt way more and even get dropped. Below is the race. Pretty cool.
