Altoona, PA

So, I'm sitting here in Hollidaysburg, PA (6 miles from Altoona) and gearing up for Tour de Toona.  I realize I haven't blogged in awhile and my sister called and yelled at me today about it.  So, here goes with a very brief blog.  We've had a good run of racing with Nationals and than the Coatesville Classic (teammate Blair took 1st place at the road race).  Now we are at Tour de Toona in Altoona, PA.  We have a great host house with the Bosak family.  A plentiful dinner of burgers, veggies and fruit gave us a warm welcome.  They have every kind of animal you can think of....dogs, cats, ducks, wild geese, chickens, rabbits, and birds.  My favorite is Kenny (small dachshund).  He seems to have his way around the house quite well and finds his means under every cover you can imagine.  As I type this, he is nuzzled under my blanket sound asleep.  This place is great and I'm looking forward to hanging out in their cabin like house.

Kenny....the king of the Bosak house!

Tomorrow is a 3 mile prologue.  Thursday brings a hard road race.  Friday is a rest day.  Saturday is another road race and Sunday ends up with a crit in downtown Altoona.  We've got a solid group of guys here including Russ Brown, Jake Tremblay, Kevin Gottlieb and guest rider Paul Ward.  I'll post day by day as we go on.
