i hit the weights yesterday, and although as you can clearly see in this photo i am favoring my broken right shoulder, i am already nearly at my april racing weight--and looking pretty god-damned buff, if i may say so myself. i intend to be a pesky little gnat on all the climbs, and undroppable on the flats. my power-to-weight ratio is incredible, according to my velodyne. i'm telling you right now, lou, tom, and the rest, that . . . well, just watch out.

by the way, lane, i LOVE the new team caps. they're distinctive, they stay on well at high speeds, and the snell-ansi people tell me they're certain to be approved. the new radios fit like oj.
