FLCC> ESG qualifiers - Cookies Crumbling ?

[Cameron Cogburn]

I was canned as well - not having a New York state driver's license  
was my downfall. But there will be plenty of more opportunities for  
the Cookie's to be seen on the podium and I look forward to racing  
with everyone through the rest of summer. After 2 weeks of essentially  
no biking because of parents/graduation and then a nasty virus, I was  
left riding the weakest and most conservatively I have all season at  
the qualifiers. All the fitness has come back quickly though, and I  
look forward to using this week to train hard in the mountains and put  
Cookies on the podium this weekend at the Settlers Life Omnium in  
Tennessee. The finishing climb for the RR is an 8 mile 7% average  
finishing at Carvers Gap at 5512'. This is what it's all about. See  
you guys next week.
