Grand Junction

A shot of the mountains on top of Molass Pass

I made it to Grand Junction today with the FLC team. The school kicked down huge this year and bought the team a new trailer and a new F-350 Powerstroke Diesel. I will take a picture of it tomorrow. It isn't painted yet in team colors but it is so much nicer than riding around in the box van. That thing would spit oil all over the place. When we took our bikes off the trailer it was covered in oil. The new trailer is huge and closed in. It is so much nicer.

It looks like the team is doing well in Georgia. Colby got 10th today in the stage. Awesome! Wells had a sick time trial yesterday. I think Danielson is going to put it to Floyd on the Brass Town Bald Climb tomorrow. What an awesome race it has been. I wish I was there. Maybe next year I will be able to attend the big show.

I had a good time trial myself yesterday in the time trial series in Durango. We did a team time trial practice first and then we did individual time trials. I changed my position on the bike to get a little lower and not as stretched out. I felt much better and set a new course record and personal best. 28:00 flat for the Dead Elk Time Trial. I think the changes I made are for the better.
Tomorrow we will be racing in a road race in the morning and then we are are going to have to race a team time trial in the afternoon. It should be a good day of training. The road race is supposed to be rolly with some good climbs and then a false flat for about 6 miles to the finish. It should be a good race. I will try to throw up some picks tomorrow.
