My cell phone rang this morning and I didn't recognize the number so I wasn't going to answer it, but at the last second I did. On the other end was a voice with a distinctly Australian accent. "Hi Dan, this is Nathan O'Neill. Do you want to go for a bike ride?"
Nathan O'Neill is currently a member of the Navigators Insurance Cycling Team, the only U.S.-based team to register as a Professional Team under the new UCI rules for the 2005 season. Checkout more about Nathan here...

Nathan was aboard his new Colnago C-50 and was getting it dialed in as we did a 3-hour ride and chatted. I felt a good connection was established and he wants to ride together more, so I'm happy about that.
I recently heard that climbing sensation Cesar Grajales will get a Colnago and ride for the Navigators in 2005 as well.
