Before the A-man left to Europe we got to head down to Phoenix for the Valley of the Sun Stage race. The Chipotle boys were introduced to a big new sponsor called First Solar. They are the second largest solar panel company in the world and supposedly buying their stock is a good idea. I tagged along for the trip to get my fair fix of sunshine and bike racing. Plus I was excited to meet some of Alister’s new teammates. For the most part I think they are all pretty good guys. The ones I think I like most so far are Andz, Andrei, Danny, Rob Bush, and Mike. Teehee… and obviously Alister. They all have good heads on their shoulders and nice legs. ;)
One of the perks of going was being able to stay with my old friend Rusty from Ogden. He moved back down to mesa shortly after I moved to Durango. It was really nice getting to catch up with him. Not many cool people like him in the world.
We also volunteered to drive this girl ivy down with us from the fort. She is really young, but she has a really good support from her family that if she sticks to things she can be a good bike racer. Poor thing got hit by a car the first day we were there that kind of threw off the weekend for us. But I was just glad she was okay and for the most part we had lots of fun in the sun! I LOVE the Phoenix area in February. Such perfect weather!
So Alister is off in France! And I am here in Durango until I too am off to France to go see him! Some of the days go by really fast and some go by really slow and I miss him a lot, but mostly I am just really excited for him and all the cool things he gets to experience. And I can’t wait until I get to experience some with him. I will be going out for a month in may and a couple weeks in July for the Tour de France. (I hope)
But in the meantime...
I have been spending a lot of time in the gym to pass the time as well as doing some therapeutic shopping for myself. I day dream of all the cute clothes I get to wear while in France with my rock star gym body that I am going to have!
That’s all I have time for now. I will tell you all about mine and Alister’s ideal Valentine’s day next!
Off to the gym.
Carpe diem everyone!
