From here I will catch everyone up with my life in 30 words or less...
Home from Chile. Graduated from UNR, Spanish Major, Latin American Studies minor. Move to Colorado. Buy ski pass. Gluten free. Get rad. Shep got me Job in Germany.
So I am writing from Germany at this point. Shep (Andrew Sheppard) put my name in at some point to Marc Gullicson for a position to wrench for some mountain bike camps in Germany for May and June, and here I am.
The flight was relatively painless save for a bloody nose and traffic that resulted in missing my first flight. I have to apologize to my roommates, when I left; I left the house a wreck. It wasn’t in good form, but it is done now. Peter was rad enough to rush me to the airport, even though he then had to drive back to bike house, get in another car, pack and drive a bunch of road bikes to Madison Wisconsin for collegiate road nationals. Peter rocks, and he rocks enough to be joining one of the camps in June.
Typically plane rides are horrible, this one however wasn’t too bad. I watched a couple of movies. There were no free drinks, but I ended up in economy plus, which has 2 extra inches of leg room, however I got there, it was totally worth it. Gully (Marc) Picked us up from the airport in Frankfurt, it was a 2 or so hour drive to Freiburg, then a couple more kilometers to Kirchzarten, and home base.
I have put off doing the blog thing a bit because it was stuck in German, and I was way too lazy to get involved with figuring that whole thing out. German is so far different I have absolutely no idea what people are trying to tell me. A lot of people speak English, but those that don't, I revert back to grunts and aggressive gestures to try to explain myself.
The place we're based out of is a farm, with some apartments in the old farmhouse. There are 4 riders here now.
From left to right: Russell Finsterwald, Kerry Werner, Steven Ettinger, and Jack Hinkens.
It's a good group of kids. More will follow shortly, it's bed time, and here's Bryan with a Mohawk
