News: Adam Craig's Olympic Experience

Earthquaker pointed out that Shimano still likes me…

Trek's Chinese front-man, Todd McKean, came through huge for the Americans without even being asked. He had the foresight to open a Trek Shop on the corner just outside Laoshan Park. He also had the foresight to make a work area available for our Mechanics and set up a lounge with showers and couches in addition to a downstairs mingling lounge where we could invite our families in for a cool beverage and take a load of. It was perfect. We can't thank Todd enough for this service, it made the weekend so much easier and more pleasant.

So, we had all the pieces, all we had to do was put the puzzle together. The Ladies rode smart races and ended up with solid results to show for it: 7th and 8th for Mary and Georgia. Putting the pieces together is where us guys came up short. It just wasn't Todd's day, or mine. Too bad the Olympics weren't in Bromont or Mont St. Anne. And I think that's just it, I'll always race better in a relaxed, fun environment, without the hopes of Americans riding bikes in the woods on my shoulders. Sorry for that…

Thanks for all the help along the way though, maybe I'll figure out a few things in the next four years and get some inspiration together in London…

On the lighter side, I hop you enjoyed the photos.

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the dozen Kangaroos hopping across the trail we were ripping into the sunset here in Australia with good friends and a cool breeze. THAT is why I ride bikes.

Oh, and a bit more homework, if you like reading about our Rally exploits go HERE

What I plan to do when I get home…
