We’ve been wondering for a few months now . . . he took the test back in February after doing double duty as a pro on the road and going to law school for the last three years.

But now it’s official: Roman passed the BAR exam!

As for me, I headed North to my parents house to visit for a few days before making the trip to Hood River, Oregon. Things are great, Katie Mactier is finally here with the team and we are ready to put the hammer down here. Host housing is great and I have an awesome view of the Columbia Gorge and Mt. St. Helen’s from my bedroom. Camera is out of batteries today, but hopefully I will get some great pictures of the race soon. Tonight is the prologue . . . which I love. Last year I was 11th here, but the times are so close together you have to nickel and dime every pedalstroke, corner, and shift. So wish the ValueAct girls some luck and positive thoughts when you get a chance!
