One of these have got to be Catnip!

Until Redlands...

Back home now and it certainly doesn't look like this outside :)...but it's really good to see everyone again!

The California Poppy

Well, it's been a fanatastic stay with Sarah and Terry. I couldn't have asked for better weather, riding or company. We're off tomorrow for the Sequoia Cycling Classic in Visalia. We race a 40 km time trial on Saturday and a criterium on Sunday. Looking forward to the first race as a full Cheerwine team!

Breakfast at Bam's :)

Mornings are fun at Sarah and Terry's home. I'm greeted in the kitchen by Sebastian and Pasquale, patiently waiting for a crumb of cereal to drop on the floor...or better yet a piece of banana!

From Desert to Coast

I'm now in San Francisco staying with my teammate Sarah until our first race in Visalia. What a beautiful city! Sarah and her husband Terry live just outside of the Presidio, an old military base which is now a National Park. Looking forward to biking across the Golden Gate Bridge tomorrow!

Mount Lemon

The infamous Mount Lemon is a "fat" mountain...you climb and climb and climb and really never see the top (even when you get there)...but the view as you climb is incredible!

Breakfast at Tooley's Cafe

One really good reason to get up at 5am and hook up with the Shootout ride today :)
