After Phoenix i have been busy, so couldnt do a update earlier!! sorry for that.
Tuesday after Phoenix we went to Las Vegas, John and Wendy thought that i couldnt leave the usa without a trip to Las Vegas, so we drove their and it was kinda driving from my house to Paris, france. Its was like 5 hours, We arrived there at 12 pm and stayed in the LUXOR, imagine that 4 people walking into a hotel/casino with 4 suitcases and 2 bikes, everybody was looking at us and thought that we were the special act later on the night haha we had so much fun. We arrived at our rooms and i took a shower and we went to bed, everybody was tired. The next morning we drove around and watched a lot of buildings and searched for some food, then we drove back to hotel, and Keith and I were free to do till 3 o clock. So we took our bikes and ride around Las Vegas, we saw a lot of casino's and big hotels and buildings it was almost 3 o clock so we ride back to the hotel, were we took our stuff and bikes and put that in the car, on our way to the Boulder City track which is like 15 minutes away from there we stopped at the hooverdam to check that out! Which was a great idea, it is so big and massive its just something u cant explains u have to see it with your own eyes! After that we went to the track, it was a pretty fun track, only the gate was slow, so it didnt really made sence to do gates! But they had a fun pro section and the 3th straight was really technical and deep! After that we went back to Las Vegas, took a shower and changed clothes and start looking for a good restaurant for dinners, we ended up by treasure island and it was a buffet so there was enough food!! after that we walked around Las Vegas and it was allready dark so all the lights and lasers and billboards and buildings have every colour of the rainbow!! ii was really excited and i still am if i think about it. it was AWESOME, thanks to the Grines! Thursday morning we drove back and arrived at like 4 o clock, and 5 o clock we figured out to go to a velodrome track. So we did and ive done it before but thats a long time ago so i had to take the 25 minutes instructions session first, after that i joined the group did some warm-up laps and i did the standing 500m on a concreet outdoor velodrome track, after i did my first run this guy from the track wanted me to do it again and time me this time because he thought i was close to the track record, so 15 minutes later i did it again and he was right, i was 00.04 seconds off from the Elite Track Record!! so that was fun to do only it killed my legs!!! haha we drove back home, took some burritos and went to sleep.
