Dear readers,

Firstly I would like to say thanks for the support that you have given me during the year. Even if it was just a short email or call, I really appreciate it. Life for a cyclists is much spent on the road and hearing a friendly voice is always comforting! Anyway enough with the mooshy stuff.

Back home now on the Goldie and it feels good to be home. I moved into my new house only 4 weeks before my US trip so it still feels like brand new. I have some house renovations that I would like to do so this will keep me busy for a little while. In the mean time I have been in contact withn the teams that I would like to be riding for and still sitting on the fence without any clue's. I hope to have more of an update by the end of next week and I hope it will be all positive. 

Apart from that things are very quite with a well deserved break coming up! Oh plane trip home was not fun at all. I was ment to leave LA at 11.30pm local time and as the plane was just about to push back the pilot anounced that he was experiencing engine problems. Great I thought! So we sat on the plane for 2 hours until our next announcement, which said "I'm sorry but we will have to disembarke the plane because the airconditioning was not functioning properly! So 300 people got off the plane and we were all sitting in the terminal for another 2 hours. Not fun time at 3am before our 14 hour direct flight back to Australia. We finally boarded again with everybody completely nervous from all the problems from this particular plane company! Well as for I am writing this email obvioulsy everything turned out ok and I made it........

Talk soon
Jonny
