So found some time to make it down to the coffee shop again. This time I am sitting across from Alberto Contador, Yaroslav Popovych, Jesus Hernandez, and a bunch of the Astana guys. I'm enjoying an Earl Grey (remember my tea addiction?) and some excellent live music as well.
Anyway, today was not unlike most training camp days. Lots of eating, riding, massages, more eating...
The eating tonight was made quite a bit nicer by the fact that Lance joined us, and the riding was beautiful, even though it was pretty wet out. We're looking forward to a dry sunny day tomorrow, and with all the sun, out will come Lance to make us all cry for our mommies when the road points upward. And speaking of Lance, if you haven't checked out VeloNews' photo gallery from this week, here's a link to it. Have a look at this particular picture, in which the "big boss", Lance, looks rather dwarf-esque among his inferiors. The word around here was that Lance was starting a new U23 basketball team... Lance laughed, and then frankly said "We will definitely need to re-do that one" He's not really that short, but his photographer, who must have had it in for him, had us stand in a bit of a U formation, with the tallest in the middle and shortest outside, but closer to the camera. The effect was that all the riders look as though we are about a foot taller than poor Lance.
I will hopefully have some more pics up shortly.
Looking forward to coming home to the real world..... NOT!

yes, but at least you don't have to go across the street to get wireless internet here.

Hi Taylor, do you know that tea prevents cavities by killing some of the bacteria in your mouth, good for you.
