Rode with Gabe and Jonathan this morning. It's getting warmer and warmer, earlier and earlier in the morning these days and it's awesome to be up riding when it's crisp. Looking forward to getting out more with these guys.

La Fléche Wallonne 2010
In case you missed it this morning (and can't wait for Versus to air it on Sunday), here's the final Km's of the Fleche. Pretty exciting finish up the Mur de Huy with Evans and Contador... L-B-L should be good this weekend too!

Copperopolis 2010
Had fun out there racing with Naveen and Kevin (I would have mentioned Rainier as well but he's busy in the 3's now!). I was fortunate enough not to have a mechanical or flat and ended up finishing 26th. Lots of fun out there amongst the treacherous roads of Milton, CA. Thanks Saskia for working the feed zone!

KOBH 60.1
From Velonews:
"Pinarello says the KOBH 60.1 was developed in conjunction with Team Sky, as a result of the team’s request for a bike made for the rigors of the spring classics. With a potential winner in Juan Antonio Flecha and an outside podium contender in Matthew Hayman, it’s no surprise that this new powerhouse team demanded bike frames to match its ambitions.
A bike to blast the Pave
“The chainstays and seatstays are different, to absorb the shock of the cobbles a little bit better, and the angles are a little more relaxed,” said Barry, describing the frame. He added, “Tire clearance is a little better, and overall it absorbs vibrations better and is less stiff than the Dogma.”
The KOBH 60.1 is at the same level in the Pinarello line to the Dogma 60.1, which is the bike Team Sky began the season with, and Dogma 60.1 road racing bikes are still the mainstay of the program. But in the same way Liquigas riders can use either Cannondale’s race-oriented SuperSix HiMod bikes or more relaxed and absorbent Synapses, and Specialized-sponsored teams have a choice between Tarmac SL3s and Roubaix SL2, Team Sky athletes now have an option for rough roads..."

Alternative Perspective
Pretty rad looking. Always interesting to see another perspective of any event, nonetheless Roubaix. It's nuts how fast they ride on the pave. Maybe someday a group of us can make an epic trip out of it and see it live. Seen on the Rapha blog...
In other news, I've been really busy with moving to a new spot in the city so I've been without the internet longer than I had anticipated but now we're back online! More updates to come. Where's everyone at?! Chuck, are you back from the Philippines? Holler.
