Friends, Well today was a great day. I went out with SDBC to Huennekens for some crit training. Mind you I have NEVER done any crit training in my life. We started out doing about 20 laps for warm up then ended up riding to a park where we did bump and rides. This was interesting because we were on the grass. Lots of fun. I paired up with Ling. Very nice guy...we practiced up high and bumping shoulders and elbows in our drops. After this exercise we ended doing "ring of fire". This was pretty challanging because you make a ring of water bottles and then 12-15 guys get inside the ring and ride around. the goal is that you try to make another guy/gal go outside of the ring.

But it doesn't have a bar Frank Bynum feels comfortable in, or even a phone he can understand. When traveling, the University of Southern California law student usually likes to grab a drink in the hotel bar before bed. But when he stayed at the W in December, he skipped it. The hotel's Whiskey Blue bar, with its mirrored walls and clubby scene, was so trendy, he says, he felt he would've had to dress up. Then there was the phone. Instead of typical buttons for the fitness center or the valet, it had "Sweat" and "Wheels." "I couldn't figure it out for a couple of minutes," Mr. Bynum says. "I was like, 'I just want my car.'"
