Short's Report: Warmin up for Tour of Belize

Tour of Belize: Day before the start.

Hello everyone. We just got to Belize yesterday and I have three words to describe it, HOT, HOT, and HOT! We went for a ride today with the Guatemala National Team for about 2 ½ hours. The roads are really rough and super flat. I know what you are thinking. Flat? That’s good! NO. You never get to coast. It’s like riding a trainer all of the time. The good thing is that most days will have some hills in it (I never thought that those words would come out of my mouth).
The team is all in good spirits and looking forward to the start tomorrow. That is except for me. I’ve been fighting allergies and had a hard time on the ride today. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.
The plan for tomorrow is to try and take the stage win. We are going to make sure that we all make the final selection and then with about 4-5 miles out take over the lead. The plan will be to try and get me to 200m.
Tonight we have a team presentation and managers meeting. After that it will we come back to the hotel, get dinner and go to bed.
Thanks to all of our sponsors (Bob, Trey, Dean, Marvin, Hearn’s Cycling & Fitness, Shirks Bike Shop, Bianchi, Hincapie Sportswear, Rudy Project, Cane Creek, and Power Cordz. We would also like to thanks Randy Tinney for being our Director Sportif.
We will have a full report of tomorrow’s stage as well as photos.
