Liam and I drove down to San Diego yesterday and until then the longest drive I had done was 30 minutes. It didn’t seem too bad though, car pool lane helped out lots!

Today Liam, Nick Long, Joe Zurek, Matt Tischler and myself headed over to a casino on an Indian reserve where you only have to be 18 to play. While I was in South Africa I had some decent first timers luck winning 800 the first night, breaking even second, 400 third night, and 600 the last night all on roulette. I went to try my luck on it over here but didn’t like the style they played with the ball determining which of the three cards they pick and then the card being the final number or color. We all played 21 for about an hour and had some fun.

Leaving for the UCI race in AZ tomorrow but then driving back Friday afternoon after racing. Will be riding the track at the Olympic Training Center next week so will hopefully have some cool videos/pics to update. Here’s a pick from the trip to SA a few months ago, never seen a gate piston this big before! Later - JB
