John came to my high school to present his "Life of an Athlete" program to our student-athletes and staff.  During the two days he was in our district, I had the chance to discuss the bike ride, my training and what I needed to eat to properly maintain my energy levels (Feeding the Machine--was the quote).  This was a once in a lifetime experience and I am really glad I had the chance to meet him.
 
I need to give a 'shout out' to Ryan at KLM Bike and Fitness (Rochester, MI store) for the fitting session we did today on my bike.  I realized there was something wrong with my riding  position and Frank (the owner) had me work with Ryan to get everything set up correctly.  Anyone who needs a bike, bike clothing or questions answered--this is the store!
