Didn’t get a chance to say goodbye and wish you luck at ToC. Sorry about our weather and our local sheriff yesterday.
I can’t thank you guys enough for your hospitality and patience over the weekend. The team treated us so well, we’ll be bragging to our friends for years!
Hope to see you in Sacramento and Davis. Thanks again and all the best.

Fritz (old guy, white beard)

If you come to Seattle, we have no dunkin donuts, they all closed, BUT we do have Krispy Kreme (not the same per Huck who prefers Dunkin), and coffee is only 5 cents when you buy a donut, in the p.m. What we do have is GREAT smoked salmon!

From Roswell, GA and my new residence in Seattle, wishing you all the best this year mate!
How could you abandon Asheville so quickly, for L.A. : )
I read the invite to Giro, NICE!
My old ski team coach at Middlebury Bobo Sheehan would wish you luck by stating “break a leg”. Must be an American thing!

Sincere Personal Regards,
From,
Keallys Dad… a.k.a Oldie Dave to Tommy!

Yes that took a while for me to decide this particular ONLY IN AMERICA and I had a short moral battle whether it is actually ONLY in America if other countries take part. However, I decided to keep it when I saw Thor’s reaction to this documentary being on TV. He got a total kick out of the fact that American TV shows document stuff like this. Plus the fact that the actual World Championships take place every year in Wisconsin made for the clincher for my ONLY IN AMERICA.

We have camp running through next Thursday with guys subbing in and out to go to various prearranged meetings. Mine is up in Santa Rosa/SF area on Thursday, so no I won’t be at the one Monday… at least I don’t think so.

Funny thing, Australia also run woodchop competitions, and they run a carnival in conjunction with our famous Christmas Carnival Track racing, running woodchops between cycling events. I don’t reckon that is the world championships, because an Aussie is the world champ (from memory)! Here’s the craziest thing of all; the axemen wear soft shoes in order to save the axe head from being damaged in the case of an accident! Seriously! You wouldn’t want to damage an axe head on a steel capped boot now would you?!

America, F*&$ YEAH!
