After a long work week I am back in NOLA. I flew in on Friday and went to the North Shore to prepare for Tour de Louisiana. I woke up early on Sat. to warm up for the TT and to test out my bike since it was completely rebuilt. I had a solid TT. It was not nearly as fast as I wanted but I felt good on the bike and I didnt blow up. I pushed myself hard but I did not go overboard. I then went and made soem tweeks to my bike and drove up to Husser to do the Road Race. It was probably the worst group of guys I have ever raced with. They were all over the road and did not show a bit of race etiquet. I had a strong race. I stayed up front and bridged a couple of breaks to keep everything together so that Dave would have a chance for the sprint. We decided before the finish that winning was not that important because of the possibilty of crashing due to these poor riders. I skipped the crit on Sunday because I was exausted and I just didnt want to ride with those guys again. I slept in and spent the morning with Lara before heading to Abita for the UCM bike fest. It was awesome. I was amazed on how many bike geeks live in the area. I wanted to buy a bike but I know that I do not have the room.
