So I'm back from the cruise and all tanned up. Everyone's initial reaction was that I didn't get any sun, but what we have to look at is my lack of tan lines, rather than darker arms and legs. A few of the pictures below show my early in the trip, racing lines and all. Now not so much. We ate tons, drank a few choice beverages and just worked on the 'ole CNS (Central Nervous System) all around. Shannon and I even made it to the 110 degree onboard gym for some serious sweat burning.

After my three week stage racing block I feel nice and refreshed and should be much stronger than before the trip. This weekend I will do the local CARVE crit at the Natural Resources center on Saturday, then drive up to St. Louis for the Tour de Wing Haven and put in my 2 cents for the $20,000 purse for one days racing!

They took the towel animals to the next level. I didnt even shower for two days so I could leave this guy monkeying around our room.


After just one day in the sun my mid section couldn't take any more UV rays.



It doesn't take much to see who's tougher in this pic, but I did hold my ground.


The sweetie pie even gave me a back message.
