posted by SSchultz on June 29, 2010, 10:29pm The last few weeks have gone by in a hurry. I flew back from Europe after racing in Offenburg, made a quick jaunt out to TX to do some racing at Lance's ranch, and then settled into a few weeks of easy MT livin'. It was great being home; getting into a routine, hanging out with friends, and giving my fitness a 'touch up'. Last weekend I resumed racing with the 4th stop of the US Cup in Wisconsin and had a pretty good time. It just so happened to be the unveiling of the newly re-brande...

Tuesday June 29, 2010 June Update, Racing into Shape! And having a good time... I moved to Oregon because the weather, while still seasonal, is a bit more workable that Maine.

I’m taking full advantage. After taking full advantage of the training and competitive spoils of Oregon I figured it&rs...

Unfortunately, “The Ranch” proper was off limits to the public during the Mellow Johnny’s Spring Classic outside Austin, Texas this weekend. The Juan Pelota Ranch belongs to one Lance Armstrong, whom maybe some of you have heard of… I had two goals for the weekend, to find out how grossly out of shape three and a half months of knee rehab had me, and confirm my suspicion about the translated name of said Ranch. While no concrete evidence to support my hypothesis could be gathered, it was determined that I am indeed qui...
