US Olympic Team Plus

Sorry I've been slacking... Work has picked up this week and I am keeping up with emails and reading good stuff but haven't been back over here to post. Feel free to email me anytime. :-) Hopefully if I get through this week with the hours, I'll get the much wanted mornings open to watch Le Tour! With C and Will there I am so looking forward to it!

News today was the announcement of the US Olympic Cycling Team. The one I saw first was actually at PdC and Jimbo linked us to VeloNews: USA Cycling names Olympic squad. The men's Road Race include Levi, George, C, McCartney, and DZ. I am super stoked for Meatball probably most of all! So excited and happy for him. I really wanted Mike and Brad there riding together so I feel sad that Brad's not going. Lyne over at Podium In Sight has a recent interview with Brad that is a great quick read. And Brad... you may be getting older but you are far from OLD! Hang in there sweetie and continue kicking booty!

Hi? That's the best you could do after silence? And have you ridden your bike lately? Little Miss?
