Friends for 28 years

In between riding at 9,000 ft, working, riding cross bikes on single track, working, and discovering THE BEST recovery drink possible, I managed to make it to the Slipstream/Chipotle team presentation this past week with The Mom.

We wanted to go support Jason Donald. His parents and my parents have been friends since before Jason and I were born (1979-80). He and I grew up skiing and schooling together. We then went our separate ways; me ski racing, Jason college going and steeplechase running. Now we have come full circle and are both racing our bikes. He's making a living doing it. I'm just doing it (ie. not really making anything but new experiences).

It was great to see him and I wish him the VERY best for the upcoming race season. How exciting!!
