This week is my vacation from cycling. I started racing back in mid-January in South Africa and it's been a great, but long season. When I broke my collarbone I didn't have to race, but still had to train and try to regain my fitness, which I think is harder than racing. So in the spirit of staying away from the bike and taking a mental break from cycling I will leave my weekly journal at this small note.

    Everyone have a good week and I'll be back next week with my usual diary. Later, I'm off to the beach to hang out with friends...
