I think maybe one of the most mixed feelings in the world is waking up super sore and achy, with knots in muscles you didn’t even know you had and energy levels so low you just go back to sleep instead of going down to breakfast. It feels aweful for sure…but at…

More coming in on this post very soon! But to start with, here’s a video Andy took today with a Go Pro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjmBkaY8t5o unfortunately the camera doesn’t do the slope justice as part of the hill was a 28% grade. But it’s a sweet look at the climb! Today a lot of…

The Tour waits for nobody, and whether or not you’re ready the races keep coming! But I really like that. The whole field is pretty fragile but we’re doing everything we can to stay on top of recovery, and I don’t feel too trashed yet. Although Steph, our massage therapist…
