New Bikes, New Team, New Season.....oh my



So the weekend has brought more than just the Tour of California and weekend debauchery for me to be excited about. Courtesy of  Trek bikes, the awesome staff and hard working management at Mellow Johnny's, Team Hotel San Jose has just been outfitted with some of the dopest 5.2 Pro Trek Madones on the block, and some classy Giro Ionos Helmets to match. So in celebration, there was a unanimous decision to bring in our newly recruited members from the disbanded Toyota United racing team (Chris Wherry and Heath Blackgrove) and put all of our flashy new gear on display for all of Austin to behold with a team ride this Saturday morning. So in the company of some great guys and gals we headed for the west austin hills and made for a great day of riding and socializing. After the weekend I'm hoping to get in some more quality riding with the new team and I'm definitely looking forward to the new season.

Bloggo numero uno

So in an effort to track and hopefully remember my races and training excursions I've started this blog while I'm traveling to New Mexico and Europe to race under the Johan Bruyneel Cycling Academy. I'm hoping to be able to post some pretty cool pictures and experiences on here from some of the greatest races and racers in the world. I'll be in New Mexico for our pre-season training camp in a week and will hopefully be sending the first set of pics up with that.
