Back to Girona
Well, I am once again back in Girona, Spain. Fresh off of a very nice five week break in the US. I packed in so many great times there, but like the rest of life it went by way too fast. This stay in Europe will be different than any of the others this year as my wife, Courtney, will not be joining me. Leaving loved ones behind is the hardest part of the sport that I know of, but that makes me even more motivated to have a successful fall here.
I have had a couple of days now to adjust to the time change and recover from the travel. Most of my time as been spent restocking the house with food and water. This means walking the sixty stairs up to our apartment many times. The rest of my time has been split catching up with friends here in Girona, either on the bike or have a drink in town. There is such a good group of guys here and that makes a lot easier here alone.
I am off to the Tour of Poland tomorrow. It has been six weeks since my last race, the Dauphine, so I have no idea what the form is going to be like. I also have never been to Poland and have no idea of what the country will be like. Right now I am seeing grey, concrete, and very few windows. It should be an experience nonetheless.
