Happy Father’s Day Paps!!

Well Beauce is officially done. Thank you Jesus…..

The whole Philly on Sunday-Tour de Beauce on Tuesday thing got a bit tough in the end. I ended up finishing Beauce in 23rd place even after doing a fair amount of work for Willo. He finished up 13th. The team had a handful of top 10’s and Pete made a podium appearance in stage 5. All in all I’m pleased with my form and with how things finished up for me. When I get back to Phoenix it’s time for a little mid-season break of 5 days. I’m pretty cooked right now and not too interested in pedaling for awhile. I think I’m going to enjoy my time sans bike.

I’m going to try and write a bit more about the Tour de Beauce when I get home and situated. It’s an incredibly tough stage race. I think it was one of the hardest stage races I’ve ever done. None of the days are easy and there’s no sitting in and getting sucked along in the bunch. It’s all up and down with crap pavement and a bit of wind. It made for 6 pretty tough days.

I fly out tomorrow and by the evening I’ll be back in Phoenix’s lovely 110 degree heat………I start an online college course tomorrow as well. After 5 years of allowing the space between my ears to go to mush, I’ve started back in school, slowly chipping away at that elusive degree……I’ll keep you posted.

Finally, I’ll leave you with an akingslife.com exclusive interview with Jittery Joe’s Neil Shirley…..Enjoy.
