If you can even pronounce the title of this posting - which happens to also be the race where Team Radio Shack and the re-emerging Lance Armstrong are back to racing today - then you are doing better than I am. Lance has been training since the Tour of Qatar and has resurfaced in southern Spain. You can check out the preview to the race here.
George Hincapie is currently in my home town of Greenville SC training amidst the flurries of snow. If I know SC - and I do, having lived there for 20 some years - he'll have the roads to himself, because all schools and businesses shut down for any chance of snow. He just finished the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the Kuurne-Brussel -Kuurne in Belgium preparing for the spring classics. Interestingly he was out here in California just a few weeks ago training around Agoura Hills. I would love to meet him some day.
Where's Levi? Not sure how I missed this before but Levi Leipheimer, of Santa Rosa, CA is riding with Lance again this year for Radio Shack. Not sure that he is in Spain right now, but I will be finding out.
Where am I riding right now? Nowhere. Work has picked up for me - which is good on its own - we just need my proposals to turn into signed contracts. Thus, even trying to fit rides into the cracks has been difficult. I managed a commute to work once last week, and even had company for once as a friend of a friend wanted to ride along in the dark on the way to work, and Vince put in a few miles on my way home the night before. No commute this week though. I haven't seemed to find a way to end up at the office in the afternoon, where I can be back in the office a little late the next day, at any point this week. I might have an hour or 2 to ride tomorrow before dark, so I will see if I can fit a week's worth of training into it. Sounds painful.
