This year was the bottom of a ramp for me. Next year, depending on the speed of this year, will either be the edge of the ramp, or flying in the air.

That's a metaphor. I said that because nobody in this country knows what one is anymore.


Next year will be badass. I'll be getting my Category 2 upgrade very, very early in the season. Probably by the first or second race. I'll be racing SuperWeek, Sea Otter Classic, some USA Pro Series crits, Tour of Ohio, Tour of PA.... etc, a free race bike, free equipment and free food.

Gaddamn. Do I have it good or what?
