Thanks to my great aunt B.B. Taylor, she has been making these amazing cookies as long as I can remeber……they are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do my siblings do when they get together? Revert back to there high school days…..so as you can see there is one empty seat…well there are actually two empty seats. Why? Well two of my three siblings decided to revert back to high school and get so trashed that they totally passed out and miss our day after Christmas family breakfast@8AM, when were supposed to open presents…together. Well they finally called at Noon, so I made sure to make my sister and brother felt horriable, by telling them….”Oh no thats ok, guess it will only take another year for us to get together again….thanks!”

“I’m alright. Don’t know body worry about me.” Think of Bill Murry’s “Groundhog Day”….yep that is him, the little Groundhog that controls much of the movie. Well our USA Mechanic Damo has deemed him the new van mascot?

oh ya and my adventure driving out from LA was 29hrs total to get back to Colorado Springs, CO…that drive should normally take anywhere from 16 to 18hrs tops! FUN FUN FUN!

kicken it in my new team van…from LA to Boulder, although I only made it to Golden, CO because of the freak blizzard that hit the front range. 34.5inches in Golden!

This is I-70 coming out of the mountains down to the Denver area, but I never made it. I was driving about 30 mph, which as pretty much max in a 2-wheel drive Turbo Deisel Sprinter.
Then I got stuck 10 feet from Ian MacGregor house.
ya it snowed this much

Notice the gas tank is pretty low after the 8 day training camp of California. Eye lid…EYE LID!

Team bonding with Taylor….

Ability to destroy a room in less than 2 minutes….

Danny Pates secret recovery tactics are hidden in his PS2…the secret Phonak rider gets a rub down from The Mrs. Pate.

ya we are internet hores!

you know those times on a ride were you take a turn and no one really knows if you should have turned right or left? Then everybody coasts in the middle of road while we attempt to firgure out which way to go? This times we coasted up to Allen in the team car…well actually Cal Giant Team Car. This new FJ Cruiser buzzes us and we all stick our arms in the air…actually no middle fingers were used….yet…Pate only used his fat thumb. Then the guy slams on the brakes in the middle of the lane, I ride up to him and say “What are you doing?” “What” the guy says quite sharply. I state how he buzzed us and how he needs to give us a legal 3 feet when passing. “Don’t tell me how to drive” he states. As the situation was somewhat controlled, in steps Tom Peterson….”What the F are you doing, how the F are you, are you F’ng stupid!”…….Woosh just like somebody had thrown gasonline on an open flame. So I am standing at this guys door and Tom is yelling this at the guy over my shoulder, well I was attempting to keep my mouth shut and think about how I was going to shut this guys door once it swings open to talk more eye to eye with Tom. Thankfully they traffic picked up and the guy took off, although not after he stated “Oh I be back for you f’er!”
Sweet now we all have to ride like we are going to be killed for the rest of the day. Well we did see him later, but he just flew up the road as we rode one of the Tour of CA roads.
The day before when we were climbing the very first climb of the Tour, we had this WRX pass us on the uphill, then just a few minutes later flew down this switch back, while he gave us one of the most visiable fingers on his front window I have seen in a while. What did we do to this guy to deserve that? I have no idea besides slowing down his soup’d up ralley car for just 30 seconds?
Man cars are great, as long as they are not passing cyclist!

Today we rode the Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita and from start to finish we were racing the rain, any time we would stop the winds and rain would creep up on us, then BOOM LIKE A CANON…we would jump ahead of the front and make our way down the road. I might be able to find a few pics of the week.
