Thanks for coming. I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay.
This year seems different. The past two years I have spent New Year’s away from my family, in Belgium, racing my bike. But this year I needed some time off. So it feels different.
As I look back on 2008, I started the year off racing in Baal with my friend Marc being my mechanic. He took care of my every need. I really enjoyed my stay in Belgium with Marc and Vicki. I wish I was with you guys again! My mom got to see me race in the World Championships in Italy. I got to tour around the country with her! I got some cool coaching opportunities and had one of my most motivated springs of training ever. I was having a lot of fun! I got to work at a great coffee shop with great people. I got to start working at United Cycle again. I got to race my bike with Chris Horner. I got to meet some wicked people and have a new experience, being a mechanic at Abitibi. I had a great Elite National Cyclocross Championships. I got to learn a lot at school. I got to meet some great people, see some great things, and do a lot of great stuff!!!
I’m incredibly lucky and grateful! I couldn’t thank all of my family and friends enough. Thank you!
I am really excited for 2009! I am excited to start training again and work with Adam Myerson. I am excited to develop the Juventus Elite Development Cycling Team. I am excited to go to school and learn more. I am excited for opportunities and people that present themselves. I am excited to smile and enjoy every minute!!!
Thanks everyone for a great oh eight! And I know I’ll be double-thanking you in 365 days!
