Hello patient readers.  Wow what a crazy last few months I have had.  From the crash (see video called Forked Up Fuji) to working over 40 hours in a kitchen on top of 17 credit hours of school.  I made it through somehow. Now I just have three more months of school.  In March I will graduate, move to California with my new wife and start our new life together.  AND I get a bonus with some great riding and racing on real hills for a change.

I got my Maruishi fixed gear conversion finished and I love it.  I also picked up sponsorship from Dedicated Athlete and Rudy Project.  Thanks so much to ALL my sponsors.  I look forward to a lot of winning with your gear and support next year.  I've come a long way from the guy who was literally dying on a sofa before my lifesaving surgery just three years ago this month, and I am so blessed to now be able to use my body and my bike to make a difference in the lives of others with my charity rides.  They mean more to me with the loss of both step-parents to esophogeal cancer, and now dealing with my dad struggling for every day with Mesothelioma and just hoping for one more sunrise every night.  Please continue to pray for him.



Angela has found a great house for us and we are getting a great deal that can only be divine intervention.  I can hardly wait to see her next month.  That will be my heaven.  It's going to be great!  Hey, maybe we'll elope or something.  Wouldn't that be grand?



Anyway, thanks for your attentive eyes.  Be good to each other.  Ride your bikes!
