A Photo Update

My apologies for the lack of updates these past two weeks. After finishing up my whirl-wind trip to Cali, US Pro and the Dauphine, I finally returned home to Girona for a little rest and recuperation. Lisa's parents were able to arrange to visit during my break. We enjoyed having them in Girona and also got to tag along for two mini-vacations to central Spain and the French Pyrenees. I have included a photo recap of our adventures below! 

Yesterday we said goodbye to the folks, and it is back into action again for me. Today was the first stage of the Tour of Austria where my roomie for the week, Robbie Hunter, took the stage win as well as the yellow jersey to kick us off on a very positive note. It should be a fun week and a beautiful race through the mountains of Austria. I'll do my best to provide some updates along the way!

Nice pics...I'd have a hard time not wearing my National Champions jersey on training rides, to dinner, sleeping with it, taking photos together.....LOL

Nice scenery...my family and I were in Ax les Thermes last year for the Tour which is located near Col de Pailhères. Small, quaint little town with good french pizza! We are also from Wisconsin so we've been following your progression the last few years. Best of luck in Austria.
