Say hi if you see me at the races or the 3P ride. You can recognize me from the picture that was in BikeBiz.

I’ll keep an eye out for that pink BMX bike, but I am assuming you might be riding something different.

Thanks Mike, glad you like the blog.

I’ll be down at Fork Shoals on Saturday morning for the state amateur races, but I’ll be up in the evening on Saturday. Staying across the skreet from one of the race hotels so I can whore some team mechanic photos. I’ll be at the Peloton Project ride Sunday morning and camping out on Paris for the first two or three laps.

I guess I just spoke a few hours too soon yesterday.

Yeah Ron, it is actually a loop that I ride pretty often. It is generally hilly with one big climb over Paris Mountain. Go here for a map with an elevation profile.

Do you know how that 22 mile course is like?

David Zabriskie is confirmed to defend the ITT, and the RR will have a full field.

I could be wrong though. I probably should have just said that he is not confirmed to be at US Pros at this point.

Are you sure> I don't have it that Levi has definitely said no to US Pros . . . . yet.

He will be in Spain for the Vuelta. The big names confirmed for the US Pro race are Hincapie, Zabriskie, Vande Velde, Rodriguez (I am sure that I am forgetting some). I won’t list all the well known guys from the domestic circuit, but most of them will be here too.

The timing is bad coming off the Olympics and competing with the Vuelta, but it still should be a good race.
