After today’s race Ryan and I took a spin through Rossleare (the larger city near our smaller town) in order for Ryan to get his train ticket to the airport for his departure tomorrow. He’s flying home a few days early and will try his hand at the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium in Boise, ID. He’s packing up his bike and everything else right now. Anyway—it was a perfect afternoon here and we were in a good mood, so as we passed though the main square in town we decided to stop off for a couple of beers at a nice sidewalk café. As we drank and celebrated the completion of our experience here we discussed how amazing this trip has been despite its downs.
We can’t believe how fortunate we have been to have had all of your support in order to come over here and pedal our bikes. We really want you all to know how grateful we are, have been and will be for a long while. This has been a bike racers dream come true. In a sport that takes so much time, energy, money, etc, it’s sometimes difficult to say it’s all been worth it, but having had this experience we both agree that we legitimized everything. Like an astronaut that just made their first voyage into orbit—we’re looking at our world a lot differently now. Bicycle racing will never be the same again.
