In addition to being one of my favourite cyclists, David Zabriskie, of the Garmin-Chipotle squad, is also one of my favourite bloggers. Read Dave's blog, when he's got the chance to update it, and you get an untarnished, no-holds-barred look in on the world of cycling - the last entry, at www.davezabriskie.com, is a heartbreaking look at what happened during and after he crashed out of the 2008 Giro.
Yep, you read that right. LAST entry. As in, not long after fracturing his 1st vertebrae, his wife gave birth to a baby boy and then there were the small matters of the Tour de Missouri and the Worlds in Varese, which means that DZ's attention, to put it mildly, has been slightly fractured. So I'd keep on checking out his website, hoping to find a new blog entry or piece of information, some nugget of wisdom, and realize that the final thing he'd put down was the run-down of his return from Italy.
And then I'd think, oh boy, he's not the only one........
So this weekend, in addition to taking Ellie out (you'll read about Ellie below - she's the other reason I'm somewhat house-bound and not able to do much beyond pottering about the new apartment, riding and writing), I'm going to catch up on all of the blog entries I should have written (and did, in some cases...just in other blogs) so that the last six months accurately reflect everything which has happened - getting into road cycling, the Trans-Iberian Express, and other things.
Stay tuned...much more coming up!
