I'm in Taipei now. I'm really impressed with this city. We were all shuttled over to the Taipei bike show, which is being held about a mile from our hotel. Instead of coming back in the bus, Garrett, Roman, and I walked back so we could take a look around. It's a very hectic city with scooters, and cars, and people going in every direction. But it's also a very clean and modern city. It doesn't have the sooty industrial feel that Kaohsiung had. We're here for three nights before flying home on Monday. I'm looking forward to exploring more.

In the race today, Kirk dropped most of the climbers on the mountain top finish to basically clinch the overall. We have a four corner crit tomorrow at the base of Taipei 101, which is apparently the tallest building in the world. It should be basically a formality.

I'll try to put pictures up tomorrow. The hotel charges per computer for internet, so I'm on Roman's and can't upload photos. All for now.
