Last week I jumped on a plane to Minneapolis to represent
our sponsors on the Tour de Cure century ride for diabetes. We boarded the tiny
plane from Asheville only moments later to be asked to de-plane as the plane had
hit a bird! Once back on the plane they had to ask this beefy man to move to
the back of the plane to help redistribute the weight on the small aircraft!!
The following day Colton and I headed to the Kare TV studio
in Minneapolis to be interviewed about our charity ride the following day. You
can LOL at it here…

I sound terrible!
Later on I got to check out the Mall of America. It is insane;
it has a theme park in the middle. So big it made the IKEA opposite look pathetic.
My mum would have to take a very deep breath before entering she gets stressed
walking around John Lewis!
The following day I rode 100 miles before 11.30am,
the earliest I think I have ever been on my bike! I started off with Chris
Carmichael (Lance Armstrong’s coach) which was cool; he was really interesting
to chat to. There were also previous winners from the Biggest Loser show
riding. The bulk of the charity ride was on bike paths which made it a little
sketchy with so many riders and quite tedious after 5 hours of over taking
other riders and dodging dog walkers.
The next day I enjoyed a 3am start to catch my flight back
to Asheville, one of the many perks of being a pro cyclist! For now I have 5
days or so of training here in North Carolina before I am off to Washington DC
for the Air Force Classic with the team.

The strength of the snow and the fire has turned you into a traveling magician. You heal people by holding their hands between yours, you make them forget the cold, hunger, sickness, and war.

Near the snow,near the sun , in the highest field
ReplyDeleteSee how those names are feted by the wavering grass,
And by the streamers of white cloud,
And whispers of wind in the listening sky;
The names of those who in their lives have fought for life,
Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre.
Born of the sun they traveled a short while towrads the sun.
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
