Crew Blues.

I have now spent 6 days as a crew member...and it's awful. 6-8 hours out of every day is spent literally just waiting for cyclists to ride by. I would rather have a summer job at Home Depot testing nails with my face than spend an entire summer as a crew member. Lucky for me, my collarbone seems to be healing well. Which means I will hopefully be back on the bike within the next 2 weeks. And those two weeks couldn't come sooner. Every day I spend in the van I am losing strength and endurance. Just when I was actually becoming a decent cyclist, I'll have to start again from scratch. Anyway, I hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July. I'll be sure to report back if anything of interest happens, but let's be serious...the van is no place for inspiration. Luckily, we should have some great friendship visits soon to come. Until then. -John Welsh II
