Hi BiciRace,
As you may have seen I've made my trial here in LA, and ended with a predictable 4'46", even if my goal at the start was 2" faster. I am not a specialist yet and it can be considered as a starting point, with only 10 days of specific work-out and at the beginning of the season. I admit this morning I was a bit tense and excited and this caused me to start a little too fast.

Before the long trip back to Italy, in the next 2 days I will take the opportunity to ride with local riders in the warm California climate. I will join my friend Gianluca of AlbaBici.com who is organizing the rides.
bye,
Marco
