My how time fly's, flies...crap Idunno.

So, April was the last time I had the time, energy, or inspiration to write anything. Well, I've certainly had the inspiration, just lacking in the other two departments.
Where to begin...I guess I could start with the AJ officially leaving his Dad in the dust a few months ago  and CAT'ing up to a 2! And on his 18th birthday no less. It was something special to watch as the entire Pro 1-2-3 field sang Happy Birthday to mah boy before his very 1st race as a CAT 2 out at the Golden State Crit.
This past June AJ competed in his first ever Jr. National Championships up in Bend OR. (see pic <---)

AJ...Jr. Nats Bend OR...contemplating.

But I guess the biggest news, of course, is AJ making the 2010 Mid Atlantic Development Team for Le Tour de l'Abitibi which is basically the Tour De France of Jr. racing. Teams from all over the world will converge in the city of Val-d 'Or Canada in Quebec and compete in a 7 day stage race with no rest days.
The team is a composite squad put together from Jr.'s all over the nation. AJ submitted his race resume a few months back and lo and behold, he was chosen. He, along with 4 other boys from around the U.S. will join forces and race against the best Jr. racers from all around the globe. Sadly, Dad can't go with him, but it'll be good for the both of us...
