Well the Redlands classic is officially over. Yesterday wasn't too bad except for a little bad luck. It started out with a flat with about 5 to go on a very hard course. Got back up to the group just in time for the climb again to see Phil Zijeck attacking. Got into the main peleton and was ready to just finish up the day and on the last lap coming back into town with about 7 K to go my chain decided to break. I coasted for as long as possible and then just had to pull over and ask the moto if Mavic would bring me a spair bike because mavic was no where to be found. He called into the Comesaire and they said to just bring me down. In the end I got picked up with 5 K to the line and the officials were nice enough to give me the time of the group that i was in.

I'm a little disapointed in myself for not getting the job done. The goal was to pick up some NRC points, but I fell 6 spots short. The group that i was in had about 10 or 11 riders ahead of me on GC, but thought that attacking them wouldn't look good and they would have just laughed at me if i did and my chain broke a lap latter. I don't know, it's a taugh-e. Alright enough of that. The California trip is officially over and i have a flight back to Tennessee today. It will be nice to be home. It's always perfect back home this time of year and the Turkeys are gobblin.
