France

Although Tash was a little down after getting sick and not having a stellar Tour of PEI I think it worked out for the best. After Natasha crushed it in the break at PEI, she obviously got noticed, and she was invited to go to France to do two stage races in a few weeks. So she will be wearing National team clothing again, this time on the road which was one of the objectives of the season as well. So we're pretty happy for her as she's obviously been working hard, but for some reason on the road things just haven't went her way as of yet.

Hopefully things start to turn around from here for her.
So she'll be in Paris n the last day of the Tour, but i think the only thing she'll see of the Tour is the traffic and ticker tape. So now we just have to find her some cash to pay for the ticket and we're set. SO I guess maybe I'll have a bit more incentive to go for some primes in the next couple weeks, especially if they are giving tickets to France...well maybe not but one can hope.
I guess this will give Tash more incentive to start reading her intro to french book she bought at Chapters a few weeks ago.

On deck today is Preston st Crit. We've been chillin at Casa Norm and Jane in the Westborough as we have a room here as well and are making ourselves more and more like Gypsies. Jane is down at Mooney's racing dragon boat and just came third in the semi's.

Hopefully the sun comes out and the rain ends as I generally ride better when it's sunny, maybe it's just in my head, but that's the way it is.
