I've been getting a lot of email from people wondering how Vrod is doing so I thought I'd update everyone on his condition. I am happy to report that the handsomest man in cycling has recovered miraculously and is back in the saddle again. He has even ridden his bike a couple times. Though this setback will probably keep him out of the early season races like Redlands and Sea Otter, we expect him to be ready for the big end of season events like the SF Grad Prix. In other team news, we have added another rider to our roster to pick up the slack due to Vrods absence. TJ (like Lance, no last name necessary) from AZ has signed a contract with the Rancho Vistoso Velo Club. TJ's Tour De France aspirations mess perfectly with the team desire to be the first amateur team to contest the Tour. Finally, we'd like to anounce that Velorods Mom will be joining us as team soigneur (Maurice quit when he found out that it was his mistress that Vrod was screwing when he suffered his injury).
