Tour of california

So were in stage 5 of the Tour of california, I wish I was there, but levi leinghberhine is the yellow jersey (basically the winner) of the stages so far. Lance has said that he wants levi to win. but I think that that the picture above describes the king of the mountains, it's semi cold and always a good ride! Also Lance's time trial bike was found in Sacromento so who knows!

twitters from lance armstrong

Random thought: The Tour of California should be in late April. Better weather, can get into the sierras, final tour of italy tune up, etc.

Getting a massage post race. Listening to a little Jose Gonzales.

Another tough day at the ToC. Had a spill half way. Moto with a photog crashed in front of me and I t-boned them. Body's ok tho.

wow the life of lance during the tour of california, first you wreck because guys with cameras and scooters shouldn't be allowed to close to you. Then your time trial bike gets stolen, atleast Trek has promised that by friday they will have a brand bike of the same type and style.

Thanks for the rants


Also if every one wants to know were doing a ADA (american diabetes association) century on June 13, were pretty excited and hoping to raise 2000, ok so we have some motives to raise because we'd love to show our riding because we can get jersey's made for the event.

any other race or ride events that poeple wanna talk about give me a heads up.

Also to Rob Johnson I know it's early but I hope the training is going well for the triple bypass

it's been a while so here are some rants

For the Ibike portion of the blog, over the past two weeks it's been total of a 150 miles, with 40 of them in a single trip.

Cat bus drivers can see bikes, which means that there is full right to stop, try to kill me, and then drive on like nothing happened.

Do we really need clear every single tree 5 feet from the side of the road, especially if it blocks the noise of cars to a neighborhood, seems they'd want them there.

Also, it's tax season, Wes turned 21, and the duke basketball game is tonight, and tomorrow is the IPTAY national meeting

im engaged

so it's been almost exactly one week, since I asked Kate tanner Johnson (kit) to marry me. For all of you who didn't know or don't know or want some details here's the low down, for MLK weekend me kit and 10 of our other friends went down to Ocean Isle beach, they all said on friday I drove to the beach like it was going to burn down, I was in a race for time. We get to the beach is freezing (litteraly it's 22 degree's F, and luckly for me there was no wind. I get a couple of poeple involved in the whole situation, carmen and britney put the sparkling wine (a rose), on ice with a string of lights around it so acentuate the glasses, all while we went on a walk on the beach. Which conveniently we didn't go on a walk on the beach last time we were down, so the whole week I bothered kit about it. As we get down to go walk on the beach she about put her gloves on, I told her you don't wanna wear those I wanna hold your hand. So we go walking she complains about it being cold as she would any other time, and she knows I'm just going to wave her off. So as my nerves build up to equal my braverly I start playing with kit's true love waits ring, I turn to her and start to pull it off she claims "You can't do that", I reply "trust me", I drop down to one knee and ask her to marry me.

Yet I still find it approriate for me to add a few quotes that sum of this week.

"I think your room mate is taking our picture" -kit

"So I really think your going to enjoy marriage...he he he...well yea man that's awesome" -justin scott

"she's more frightened by a bee than a hurricane" -Rob Johnson

"welcome to the family, kitty kat hinkle" -Ethan (my brother)

"so I'm guessing everything went well judging by the smile on your face" -jamie williams

calvin & hobbes

when life gives you snow

Ibike

we hit up 57 miles and were a little less than 6 miles than from the NC border.

I have to say thought that I messed up and didn't eat well enough for the ride so I had to have kit pick me up about 6 miles before central because I just about passed out

Ibike

it's the longest ride yet so far
1/2 from six mile to keowee toxiaw location.
for a grand total of 34 mile hopefully tommrow we'll make a 60+ miler through liberty and up to NC!!!

I have no clue what I'm training for, we've looked into doing some 100+ for foundations and stuff and you know I'm healthy I'm young, and I really like biking might as well

also I forgot to introduce you all to angie, she's just about 4 months old and has about 500 miles on her she's a 2008 specialized Allez pro with the white and red paint, she has shamanio tiagra shifters and derealiers and weight just short of 18 lbs. nothing to customized on here except for the mar 1.0 blackburn taillight hopefully some more to come also she is pretty dirty right now because of all the wash outs around clemson
