Happy New Years! I am enjoying a Stella Artois and celebrating the beginning of the greatest opportunity of my life. I just got off the phone with Team High Road owner and director Bob Stapleton, who is one of the most well respected men in all of cycling. He made me an offer that I just could not refuse. He asked me, quite matter-of-factly, if I would be interested in being the Director of Media Relations for High Road Sports, Inc.. I, up until this point, have been a struggling young reporter, and this is the break I have been looking for. No more covering semi-pro races from the back seat of my friend Tim's beat-up 1996 Dodge Caravan. Instead I will be flying around the world covering the biggest pro races from inside the Team High Road car. I will be rubbing elbows with the biggest stars in the sport. My camera and labtop will be upgraded as well, and I will have access to the best technology available. I know that my new title is just a fancy way of saying "team reporter", but I don't care...I'm in. I get to cover cycling for a living.
