After a couple days spent driving and collecting team members from the airport, the Ciclismo Racing team is all together in Utah. My travels were a breeze. On Sunday, I had the privilege of driving down from Fort Collins with Nick and Ian. Much of my ride was spent listening to Ian and Nick discuss business plans and strategies (wow, those guys are smart!)...I just sat in the car with my jaw slack and tried to soak up some intelligence. Besides Nick spilling hot oatmeal ALL OVER ME, and me getting REALLY angry at Nick, the drive was easy.
We've settled into some wonderful host housing. Paul and Rose have opened their beautiful home to us, and we are all super comfy. We are also very well fed thank to chef Jim Whalen who has been cooking amazing meals for us non stop... this guy is good!
Today the team went out for a ride, the weather was awesome and the roads and climbs we got to see were great. Ben saw some wildlife including, he claims, a unicorn...he also claims this is a good sign.
Everyone is excited to start racing, and it kicks off tomorrow with the prologue. It's gonna be fast and fun. Check the blog and the twitter for results...
