Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had the belief I should be more than an bookkeeper: I should also be a journalist! And I should cover bike races! So I volunteered to do so for the Daily Peloton, with my first exposure to the sport being US Postal’s winter training camp in Solvang, California, near my office. Scared out of my wits, I attended my first press conference, I met real journalists, I talked with professional riders, and I felt like the newest member of some cool club: some cool club that had nice people as members! People that were friendly and helpful, all with the common denominator of loving cycling.
