The final stage was an 80K circuit race in a city park.  Not a lot for me to do today as the caravan will not be following the race, probably just as well as I am feeling the effects of last night.    The guys are pretty happy to have made it to this point.  Hard to believe it is almost over.  The race was pretty basic, a break went away got caught, and ended in a field sprint.  All the guys finished safe and sound.  After 700k or racing as a team we had a few minor crashes, a few flats and a ton of fun.  Now the only thing left is the 24 hour drive back to Salt Lake.

Thinking back it is hard to pick one highlight of the trip.  The fish tacos, talking to the school kids, the club, the battle between Gardie and Alex for the “Yellow Jersey”.  For me the best part was getting to know everyone on the team better.  I am so glad I went on this trip.  It did wonders for me.  My head is clear and I am now super motivated to start training again.  Back in SLC I am watching it snow, looks like a trainer day.
