  Getting Started Starting a new season off is always an exciting time. Some new teammates, staff, gear etc etc. For me as a returning rider things are pretty simple; Most our sponsors are the same, only a few new teammates (Collier, Cooke, and Zajicek) and a few staff changes. This makes it much easier knowing what to expect at training camp and stuff. We are wrapping the camp up now which was in Salvang, Ca. We got in some quality kilometers on our new Super Six Cannondales which are fully carbon awesomnous. We gave the bike some good testing up the local "Figuroa" climb. We also got to set up our new Slice full carbon TT rigs which are superfast. I'm hoping to improve on my TT'ing from last year and this bike WILL help. I'm actually on route home to Athens, Ga as i write this. For me this year is a big one. My training has been going pretty well now since December. I'm doing ToC so I've been focused and the power is good and continues to improve. The slightly smaller team this year should open up more opportunities as well. A couple more weeks of training and ToC will kick off the season. Posted Feb 05 2008, 10:31 AM by John Murphy
