With cross season over, I have been enjoying riding the bike with a lack of structure. Over the past few weeks I have had time to catch up with old friends in the Seattle area. New Years was a blast with all the usual suspects and then some. We took over Seattle for a night of dancing and plenty of shots of whiskey and tequila. Thanks for the fun time guys!

With my off season quickly coming to an end, I figure I will make the drive back to Santa Cruz within the next week or so. Time to start logging in the miles and the 60 degrees and sun couldn't be any more inviting.

A special thanks to Jim Brown and the Rad Racing NW program for letting me ride their framesets for the cross season, the custom painted Rad Jake Kona's look PRO with the painted checker theme. Its great seeing the progression of the team grow from a squad of six riders my first year to a team now four times that. There has been so much success with the program over the years and they contribute some much for the youth in the community. Thanks again.
