Amstel Curacao Race 2009

Amstel Curacao Race 2009

Good morning from rainy Curacao!  By popular request this morning for more biking photos here’s another from the starting line!  Many of you know these faces without me having to even list them but here they are anyways from left to right, Thor Hushovd, Frank Schleck, Mark Cavendish and Andy Schleck, Contador wasn’t here yet, he made his grand entrance seconds before the start.  Saturday night Aimee and I went to the big after-party at Mambo and sat with Mark Cavendish and had him autograph a few things for us.  He is a really nice guy, him and his girlfriend are here for a week and I have volunteered to take them on an island tour this week some time if they have time.  Some of you may remember that Mark won six stages in the Tour de France this year, this guy is really amazing!  I also met Contador and his team members yesterday and sat with them at lunch having him sign some prints I made, so those of you who asked for pictures you got them!!  After he signed all my photos I asked “what can we do for you know”  he replied, can you get me and my boys hooked up with some snorkel gear?, which I borrowed from the all new Animal Encounters dive shop.  I said just wait here and I will be right back!  So it was a fun day of walking around the beach bumping into and seeing these biking pros everywhere, this is really one of my favorite times of the year!! 
 
Aimee is back but she is sick as a dog!!  She is so short staffed that she is unable to take any sick days off.  She said her time in Atlanta other than getting sick was fantastic!!  She said seeing the Whale Sharks in the new Georgia Aquarium was unreal!!
 
I went on a bike ride last night but am still feeling a bit out of shape or maybe just tired??  I did take the dogs for a nice walk yesterday morning and finally cleaned one of the bad climbs to Jan Theil, it was so loose for the quads going up and down it!  That’s it folks, sure feels like a Monday, be back tonight, Barry
