Slipstream/Chipotle H3O, Washington D.C. It’s so nice to be back on the road with my teammate. We hung out in DC while getting ready to race the CSC race yesterday. The other day, we went for a ride with the mayor of DC, along with his police escort. It was really nice because afterwards we were able to tour of all the monuments, including the White House, by bike.

It is good to be back racing in the USA. The biggest difference between European and US races is the size of the hotel rooms. You could fit four french hotel rooms in our room here in DC. Blake and I both have king size beds and a huge bathroom. Quite ridiculous, but nice. Also, since it’s hot and humid here, they AC the heck out of the inside of buildings. You have to carry a jacket with you so when you walk into a building you don’t freeze. That’s totally crazy.

Well our team is strong here so let’s see what we can put together this week!

Cheers, Cozza

P.S. Last week at home in California was rough. I had to bring my dog Teddy in to be put down. She battled her cancer for a couple months.
