Day 16

On the Fourth of July, most people are out barbecuing, watching fireworks, and generally enjoying themselves, but a select group of individuals, the male junior cyclists, are nervously pacing their hotel rooms, pinning numbers, filling bottles, and prepping bikes.

A year of hard work culminates tomorrow in the Nationals Road Race. This is the end of the long road. Dreams will be made and dreams will be crushed. We're ready. We're stoked.
