Interwhat?

We're not getting a ton of love on the interweb front, so updates might be few and far between, but I'll give you what I can when I can. Our flight out of Miami sat on the tarmac for close to two hours so we didn't get into Trinidad and through customs until like 1am. After a moderately terrifying drive to the hotel we went went out for some doubles and apple soda. A double is like a fried dough tortilla-ish thing heaped with spicy chickpea curry. Awesome! Nothing like some 2am street food.

We spent the next day building bikes, sightseeing, and doing a small press conference at Mikes Bikes. We got some love from both the print media and TV and although we were pretty reasonable they took some artistic liberties with out quotes and we ended up sounding like Cavendish. I'll try to get a copy of the full article which came out in the paper today, but until then this will have to tide you over.

We're only two days into this trip and we've pretty much hit all the major culinary landmarks: doubles, roti (awesome curry served with piles of baked dough), bake and shark (fried shark on fried dough), and pholourie (fried, curried dough). Toss in some fresh made ice cream and its been a hell of an eating binge. Good thing its flat stages until Tobago.

I'll try to snag some photos from the other guys, but to tide you over here are some shots from our first ride around the Queen's Park Savannah. Now its time to kick back, put the legs up and prepare for tonight's Newsday Cycling Classic. Woo!
