I just read the depressing news about Saul Raisin's worsening condition on Velonews. He was involved in a tragic crash that sounded like it could have been avoided, but bad promoting left this finish straight sketchy. I don't know Saul and never raced with him, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that he has a full and speedy recovery. Bike racing is scary business sometimes.
Today I am heading down to the Tour de El Paso in Texas. It is a two day race with three stages. Hopefully I can get a good result and maybe even come back with some dough. I will have two teammates to work with as well which will be nice. It is supposed to be super nice down there in El Paso, maybe even to hot.
It looks like I am going to be racing some collegiate action next weekend. I may even give collegiate nationals one more go and try to help the FLC team win the overall title. They need it bad because the college just dumped a ton of money into the program.
The most breaking news is that the townie wheel has been found! Mike Wilk found it down on the Lamp Post trail which is about 300 feet below the crash site. It was buried in the creek that runs along the trail. The police have it down in the homicide department trying to solve the attempted murder. Foul play was definitely involved in the incident. They have found finger prints on the quick release and are running the fingerprints through the FBI database and looking for other forensic evidence. Look for the suspect on next weeks Americas Most Wanted.

Be careful using big words like collegiate,homicide and forensic, especially if you're going to spell them right. You might get shunned by the pro cyclist blog community.

Good luck Matt!
By the way, I know a guy who knows this other guy's roommate who once worked for a secretary at the CIA. Want me to give him a call?
Are you crying again.....a little more rain and/or snow is good for us....it's not just about training in this world. Try not to make yourself look like an ass.
Shriver-
You would be amazed how many people actually read your blogg....make it help your career not hinder it. Try to tone down the infamous "Shriver Whinning!" Good luck with everything.
