Just thought I would give a special shout out to a new person I met here at Battle Mountain on Sunday. His name is Sparky and he works for the Giant Cycle-cross team as a mechanic. I spent some time on Sunday morning chatting with him about the competition, and learning more about his as well. Since everyone around the Super 8 hotel saw his van with a trailer we naturally thought that they had a streamliner inside somewhere. No such luck.
The big news was that many teams around here needed some glue for their tubular tires, and he happened to have a healthy tub to donate. What a nice guy. Thanks so much for your generousity. It will go to good use. Maybe your actions might lead to a new world record. Best of luck to your team in their events as well.
