great job jeff and jon. i have no doubt that team spare tire cycling will move up several places once the cats and cramps start behaving and other teams start realizing what a threat you are. i love the blog. i wish i was there and that it did not coincide with our trip to switzerland. ...pretend there are lots of exclamation marks in my post--still cannot figure it out on this swiss keyboard. jeff, drink more and dont forget your tums and electrolyte pills. jon, dont push my brother too hard. and most importantly, have fun and i am sending you karma not to have any mechanicals . . . with your bike or your bodies. love, ryn
