The Argyle Armada takes it up a notch this month as the team competes in its first ever Grand Tour - the Giro d’Italia. Team Slipstream/Chipotle H3O has been putting the final touches on the team’s preparations and will arrive in Palermo with rose-colored goals.
With four time trial stages (three individual and one team), this […]

OK. That was the hardest short race of the year! It kinda hurts not getting the results down on paper. But hell, that’s bike racing!
It was basically a sprint up the steep finish climb every lap (17 total laps!). I stayed right up front and made the split with five laps to go. […]
