26th April 2010
Luckily we were able to stay for this very special day, unfortunately there were a few people who hadn't been able to make it. A celebrity style wedding with an outdoor ceremony, superb dinner, indoor disco with fun casinos, magicians, balloon makers, chocolate fountain and so much more. Ben sang the opening song which was brilliant. Jodie looked amazing and the whole day was very special.

Scottsdale - Pheonix
19th - 27th April 2010
Due to the Volcano and the re-arrangement of the wedding meant we stayed on till the Tuesday. Scottsdale was mostly very warm, with a couple of mild days. Lots of chilling out by the pool and shopping in Fashion Square and Old Town Scottsdale. Loads of excellent restaurants, highlight for food was the Cheesecake Factory, gorgeous. Went with Jodie and Chris to watch the Phoenix Suns play Basket Ball which was very good fun.
Met Brock at Bike Haus who organised a bike for Phil to ride and I hired a Trek from Bike Barn, we joined them early morning on a group ride to the mountains which was brilliant, probably 25 riders in total.

Flagstaff & Grand Canyon
16th - 19th April 2010
Drove to Flagstaff from Vegas, stopped at the Hoover Dam which was very impressive. As we got closer to Flagstaff, which was very high up, couldn't help noticing the piles of snow at the side of the road! Luckily it was warm and sunny. Stayed at the Aspen Hotel, myself and Phil hired mountain bikes and went riding through Buffalo Park to the top of a mountain, this took 1.5 hours to reach the top, trails were extremely good, dry and technical at times.
Drove to the Grand Canyon and spent the most of the day there, simply breathtaking, a very hot day meant the views were staggering!!
Checked out on the 19th and set-off for Phoenix, drove the scenic route through Sedona which was also very beautiful.

Las Vegas
16th - 19th April 2010
Stayed at the Excalibur Hotel on the Southern part of The Strip, wonderful place which really came alive at night. Caesars Palace, The Venetian, MGM Grand (lions), The Bellagio (fountains to music) and the Paris all stood out as very glamorous hotels/shopping malls.

Los Angeles
10th - 13th April 2010
Stayed at the Venice Beach Hotel which was right on the beach, the landlord Greg made us very welcome. Excellent location with the street markets of Venice Beach and the swish Santa Monica. Visited Hollywood and strolled the "walk of fame".
Don't ask Phil about the fainting episode after going out for a run....

Milland Hill Road Race - promoted by a3crg
3rd April 2010
Both of todays races were promoted by our team ...a3crg. Phil raced in the afternoon in the 1st/2nd & 3rd Cat. race over 70 miles and up Milland Hill ten times! The bunch split early on which left 12 riders in front with Phil in this group, a hard pace was set and Phil managed an excellent 7th behind the winner Richard Symmonds. I had the job of driving the commissaire at the back of the peloton, which was a touch dull.
