Chris Monteleone in Belgium

Local Cycling phenom Chris Monteleone

(Standing above the 2) grabbed 2nd at the

US Under 23 Nationals and earned a highly

coveted spot on the U23 National team. This

team is the breeding ground for future Tour

De France Racers. Chris is spending the next

3 months racing in Belgium with the team.

He sent me this update a few days ago. All

the best Chris!!!

Hey everybody,Just a quick update..

Finally getting settled in here at the U-23 house.

It's a pretty simple set-up - Six bedrooms I think,

four guys to a room, huge kitchen, equally

large dining room. Noel's wife Els, has dinner

ready for us every night at 6. There are two

full time mechanics, and masseur's.... but with

24 guys here, it gets pretty hectic at times...Riding

here is really different, as none of the roads go

in one constant direction. None of the country

roads are visibly marked, so it's super easy to

get lost. It's nothing like America where the

roads are more or less in grids...I race in

GP Des Hauts, Saturday in France.

It's 160km, so that should be fun.

I'm starting to feel better every day..

the first few days were rough.

So, I think thats all for now...

Looks can be deceiving...

Check out the lugs on Rick Nault's new Serotta Mei Vici. Despite the traditional look this bike is 100% carbon fiber. In keeping with a classic bike, Rick decked it out with Campy Record and Mavic wheels. We also appreciate such artistic use of the Paceline Team colors.

Rick took ill during the order process and was giving instructions from his hospital bed to ensure that nothing delayed his new bike. We wish him a full and speedy recovery so he can enjoy his new Serotta.

Paceline Goes International

How is it going!! Sorry its taken

me so long to email. We're settledin here at last.

My guys are running missions daily out in Baghdad.

I go with them sometimes but have my fair

share of paperwork to do. Itshot as in over

100s already and the bad guys keep lobbing

mortars androckets our direction daily.

Gotta love a war zone.I've been doing a good

deal of working out, inside of course. I run on

the treadmill and do the elliptical 5-6 times a

week and lift 3-4 timesa week. I've gained

a few pounds from the lifting and all the

greatfood they have here in the chow hall.

I wish I could ride but it's abit to dangerous

(not to mention HOT) out there....

There is spinningclass at 6AM but its an ordeal

to get to the place where they do it soI'm not sure

if its doable.It looks like we may actually be

back in DEC sometime. Of course thatmeans

I can do the winter CX series!! =)

Give my best to everyone!

Pat
