TPC Stage 2

I have to say that this part of Utah almost challenges Colorado is beautiful scenery. It is so green and peaks topped with snow are everywhere.


Our accommodations while here in Utah are some of the best that I ever stayed at while on the road. We are at Lenny's Aunt's house that is right at the base of the mountains and on a golf course. We have the basement all to our self. I has its own fridge, pool table, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room with a big screen TV and surround sound. Not too bad at all.Yesterday while waiting for the race to start we took full advantage of the TV and wireless internet.

The race last night was an 8 lap, 58Km circuit race with some nasty wind that made it impossible to keep a straight line at times. From the gun I went to the front to get things moving. A CenturyTel rider got away in the first lap, and props to him for staying away and winning. But the rest of us kept doing our own race. I stayed at the front for most of the race driving it and shelling everyone but a select few of 12 racers. On the final lap, and my legs done, I fell off the back with another CenturyTel racer and came across in 12th. But everything worked out as planned with the Team, with so many racers gone from my pace driving and tiring people out Whitey was able to get away with a 5280 racer and got third which put him in third in the GC. Today is another Crit this evening so I should go like the first one and get Whitey some more points for the omnium and have him sitting good going into the road race tomorrow.
