THIS is what I'm talking about!

Sometimes you receive emails that simply make your day... like this excerpt from my good friend David Parrett, over at Thomson;

First, Christian is in Belgium until September 10^th with USA Cycling at that house they have, racing. Obviously I am beyond words with happiness and pride for him. He has worked really hard this year, and has earned this trip. Pat yourself on the back, you have been part of it. Apparently he smoked some mountain Time Trial at National Camp in Colorado Springs last week.

I mean... damn! It don't get much better than that at all... I don't care who you are. Dave's son Christian is riding on a Masi Gran Criterium- that's the extent of my involvement, the rest is great genes and tons of desire. He's been lighting the Southeast on fire and rode the Tour L'Abitibi for a second time this summer. The kid is a total motor! And Dave is a great guy and a very proud dad, as you can tell.

Christian; here's to you! Just know you have fans all over the place... especially at Masi!

Perry-Roubaix 2007- Christian Parrett

I have been meaning to post this for far too long, but dig the picture;

That's Christian Parrett- son of Dave Parrett from Thomson- and he races on a Masi Gran Criterium. He's still a junior and is ripping legs off the Southeast peloton. Remember his name... you'll be reading it again in the future.

This shot is of Christian exiting the last section of dirt road during this year's Perry-Roubaix in Georgia- which he won. (Sounds like an epic race and I might have to start training for the '08 edition.)

Congrats again... even if a little late.
