I am through!
What a relief, i was kakking that the border officials were going to give me hell and send me back to 'mud island' (UK). Fortunately, i was able to choose which queue to stand in at immigration and tactfully took the one with the nice young blonde lady... good call !
Peter Kenyon, a good mate of mine from Howick met me at the airport and we headed off to Grand Junction (UTAH). We did some absolutely amazing riding in Fruita, i took some pearler photos and will post them here on the Blog as soon as i figure out how to do it... I am sitting in a library here in Teluride which has free internet access - bonus. We are at an altitude of 9000ft so yesterdays interval training session was interesting... the air is a tad thin up here but after a few weeks i should find my lungs.
Teluride is the playground of the rich and famous, its a very exclusive ski village which is frequented by rock stars and celebs. The locals are awesome, there is a young crowd here and i have not met one person yet who does not get out into the mountains ... if its not on a bike or on foot then its in the air or water. There are some seriously crazy and talented athletes here, intersting folk indeed.
This weekend we head off to Denver to do some short course racing, i still have a nagging cold so will just have to take the race as it comes and pace myself accordingly. (that's for you mom!) Have a great weekend everyone!
