Random thoughts among other things from a smelly good boy

03 July, 2006



Tour of Ohio update: I ended up second on the next day's stage that was in Hocking Hills and it was an effort. Got roped into leading it out and just got pipped at the line. Annoying. Adam got second on Thursday's stage and moved up on G.C., I got bumped out of the lead because I missed/let the break go and fell back to third overall.
Then on Friday I won the 20km TT and moved into second overall, and Adam retained 5th, I think.
The last day was a rough crit that was as tight as an F1 course and things didn't really change in the overall. I retained my 3rd place in the KOM by winning the only KOM points in the stage, and then got second at the line. It would've been nice to win, and I was thinking I could but I'd have crashed. Thornton and I were going so fast through the last two turns! Josh was leading by a bike legnth and he started to slide in the final turn; my rear wheel started to lose grip as well adn Ihad to back it off. Hairy! I straightened up the LeMond but Josh was too far up and easily beat me. Oh well, second place is where my home is lately.
I ended up second overall, with 2 wins and 2 podiums for the Tour. A good time!
