Packing It All Up
Well, my winter break here in Greenville has come to an end. I’ve spent the past couple of days figuring out how to pack up my whole life into one suitcase. I’ll spend the next six-months or so over in Europe, my longest block yet, and I’ll have to be prepared for everything. Training camp in Mallorca, Spain, is my first stop. Two weeks of hard training, on and off the bike, and hopefully a little better weather will help me get ready for the racing season. Then, it’s time to get settled in Girona, my home for the year.
I am looking forward to getting the year going and figuring out where my fitness is in the first few races. I feel the winter has treated me well, but it’s hard to say when you’re not racing and don’t have anything to compare with. I am also really excited to get back to life in Girona. The life and culture there is about as good as it can get. Morning coffees overlooking the river at our place, and an evening glass of wine in one of the town squares with Courtney are some of the best parts of life. It will also be nice to escape the bitter cold that has settled in Greenville, and have some fresh roads to train on.

Good luck over there!
Somehow I just know Courtney is taking more than one suitcase. : ))
Safe travels and best wishes for a great season.
Hey, maybe you can take the cold weather with you? … Please?
Good luck and we’ll be following you!
Coffee in the morning – Check. Glass of wine in the evening with my sweetheart -check. Just need to ditch the 8 hours at the desk in between and replace with some pedalling in the warmth ! Great photography and twitter/ blog. All the best for the new season !!
Hi Craig – Any clues or idea on what the Columbia-HTC kits are going to look like this year. Are they going to change or use the same style from last year. Good luck we will be rooting for you all year. Hopefully, I will see/meet you at the TdF. Booked a group tour for the Pyrennes.
We’ll miss you over here, be safe and keep your blog updated so old teachers like me can keep up w/ former students!
Thanks for all of the positive thoughts!! No news on the new kit, but I will have a picture up tomorrow of it.
Good luck over the pond. We’ll be rooting for the hometown duo from Greenville. Sure wish we could have got a group ride in for the Greenville mortals with you two. Will definitely be watching in October at the US Pro’s…maybe Big George can pay you back for the great job you did this year on the assist in his win. Time to pass the torch along to the well deserving!
Best wishes Craig…were pulling for you to have a wonderful season!
