1) Stanford was amazing. I ended up working there for two weeks in mid-July. I spent my weekends in San Francisco, and my last two nights in Glen Ellen with my brother-in-law’s family. He builds custom steel, lugged bicycle frames for a living as Rebolledo Cycles. I had the privelage of doing a 40 mile ride with him on his newest track bike through Sonoma County on up to Santa Rosa where we stopped off at SyCip Cycles for a bit of coffee and conversation. The following morning I flew from San Francisco, to Salt Lake City, to Cincinnati, to DC. A long day of travel, but it was good to be back on the east coast.

2) August 1st marked the beginning of my new position as Support and Project Engineer for Dalet Digital Media Systems. I am permanently based out of XM Radio (now Sirius XM Satellite Radio) here in DC. It’s an exciting job and, frankly, everything I could have possibly asked for in a career.

3) I’ve got some more travel coming up. I am finally finishing my move from St Pete to DC next weekend. Following that, I’m in Atlanta for the Faster Mustache 24 hour relay race, then to Vegas two weeks later for the Interbike Convention, and then New York, Paris, and Israel for work. I can’t remember the last weekend I spent in DC.

4) My Cinelli road bike is 98% complete. I received the remaining parts last week, and all I’ve left to do is get fitted and assemble it. Between work and travel, I have no idea when I’ll have time to ride it.

5) This weekend took me to Richmond, VA with some friends from Florida who are now living in New York and New Hampshire. I had SO. MUCH. FUN.
