Beauce-day 2 Theford Mines...day 3 the Mega Megantic


So here is how yesterday's stage played out. For me, as I was 10th in GC be smart...recover, save energy, not go for any sprint or kom points. So I did. What made it even easier is my roomate, Phil Cortes, put himself into a 3 man break and took second on the stage, holding it by only a few meters from a charging and I mean charging pack!

Other than our Director hitting a guy from Trek LivesStrong.


So, today was the big one...Mont Megantic. My plan was to just be conservative and use as little energy once again until the summit of the climb. Abreak of 20 guys rolled away and got 3 minutes on the field, but I was climbing well and finished perhaps 8th of the pack which had all the GC guys, well the main ones anyways. I think I may have lost one position or so in the GC and I would be 11th or so now. So still hanging in there, try to do a good TT tomorrow and then take it from there.


Don't really have lots to say as the racing is obviously hard and it's about racing and not alot of energy left to tell stories. Well maybe around the dinner table...which is soon. The food is same as last year and the year before...have stayed away from badness food of one more day.

But today I did endeavor into using half a pound of Swedish Berries instead of gels as I'll run out soon. I did also get to use the Dura Ace carbon low profile wheels, which will not be coming off until the end of the tour.


I just wish I could find some of those candy bananas.
