Firstly: it's another great update. Writing is very good.
But if I may, a small point of criticism: the text next to the picture gets cut off too much and doesn't read that smoothly. Just a minor point, still a great episode 
Yeah I can see why you would say that. It's a little annoying but it keeps the report compact and takes up less space. Which I like that from time to time even if it makes a few choppy sentences. Plus, I'm not going to using that "style" a lot. So, no need to worry.  I'm going back to my old ways but it might make a reappearance sometime in the future. Just testing things out.
Thanks for the feedback.

I am liking it but there is not much logic.
How would people know anything about cycling on a flight in the US let alone know some American nobody?

He won the KoM jersey in the biggest American race, remember?
Cycling fans there would recognize him I guess.

Well it was in the news coz he'd be like a local hero, he comes from their area, they probably did some sappy new story on it.

The only race they would know is the Tour, let alone what a KOM race is. And what percentage of the US are cycling fans? Like .01%

Yeah but these aren't random Americans. He did something cool and's local, so some local new anchor probably did a story about him. Either way he'll be forgotten in a few weeks, and thus more likely to be shot by over protective dads. |

Thanks guys for backing me up lol
It's a story that was picked up by the local news, and if you remember he built up a nice local reputation by winning the festival race. A big deal for the people living in the surrounding area. So, he was bound to gain a few followers there. That's enough logic for me.
I have heard worst fictional stories without proper logic.

Anyway when one guy says he's famous, everyone will want an autograph, just in case later he becomes famous, cough cough eBay. |

Each which case we go full circle to what Jesleyh said right after the update:
I feel sorry for the people having a 'Chloe' autograph though

Unfortunately for the story these twists have put a lot of spammy-posts in this thread, which is a shame  |

Like that post.
I really don't mind. I like reading all the comments and feedback. It gives me more motivation and creativity. The plot twist should start conversation. But if it does get out of hand I'll stop it - I'm an Admin.
Plus it's not like you don't know when the next episode is posted by looking at the title. So, if you don't want to read the "spam", you don't have to.

I have never realized how small my apartment was until now.
Seriously, how many clothes did Chloe actually need?
But I kept my mouth shut, I didn't want to start a huge argument.
I just got her to move out to California, fighting now wouldn't be worth it.
See people... I'm somewhat of an intelligent man.
And I get to see her walking around Los Angeles looking like this
(until the baby weight is fully put on). I surely can't complain.
I'm already sick of watching guys trying to flirt with her.
But I guess, that's something I will get use to.
Chloe was rather star-struck at first but is slowly adapting to the culture.
I was the same way. Was that five years ago already? Wow.
Before I left for Canada to race in the Tour de Beauce, I told Chloe a few things.
1. Kyle was willing to help her out while I was gone.
2. She didn't need to find a job until after the pregnancy.
3. My phone was always on if she needed me.
And with that, I was off to my second professional race of my career.

Wonder if Travis could get back into racing mode after all that stress of the last while. Did he even have enough time to train?

Good luck in the next race Trav.

It's been an eventfully month since my last race. But here we are.
Welcome to moose land. Oh Canada... 
It's a rather small start list for this year's edition:
Bissell has given me a free role with AToC buddy Gaimon looking after me.
Vennell gets the leader role, but that could also fall into the hands of McCarty.
--- *** --- *** --- *** ---
They called this hilly? Looks pretty flat to me.
There is a sprint point 10kms into the stage so I figure why not jump out there and get the bonus seconds. I'm the virtually leader, how cool is that!
I was just going to drop back to the peloton but they weren't chasing and
I already had a 2'40" lead so instead Bissell brought Dahlheim up to me.
Dahlheim did his best protecting me but Taylor Shelden, the other breakaway member, forced an attack I couldn't follow with 12kms to go.
Quickly after that I was swept into the peloton.
Lachlan Norris with a late attack on the final incline got the win with a 25 second gap back to the rest of the peloton, who all finished in one big group.
Surprisingly Shelden held on for 2nd. We could play the what if game but,
I finish the day as the best young rider because of the bonus seconds.
So I will come home with at least a white jersey.
Hey, that could make for a nice white blanket for the baby.

I'm forced to wear the KoM jersey instead of the white because
Shelden takes on the Points jersey leaving the KoM jersey vacant to me.
A strange stage today. No breakaway. The peloton is more than happy
to just let me ride under the banners and collect the bonus seconds.
Same goes from the King of the Mountains.
Which means at the end of the day I will hold the lead in youth and KoM.
The two European team take the first two stages as Carlos Barbero from Euskadi
outsprints Juan José Haedo. Our guy Tommy Nankervis gets a nice top 10.

I thought all this Chloe and baby drama was going to
hinder me but for now it's actually motivated me instead.
This is certainly the best way for me to support my new family.
2nd in GC, best young rider, and 1st KoM = +3 EXP.
Form goes up to +4 because my legs are almost tuned up to top shape.
The next race update will include Stages 3 and 4 of Tour de Beauce:
Spoiler
My training is now in your hands for the rest of my career.
After each race I can receive both EXP and Form Points.
EXP is a permanent stat gains while Form is temporary (the next race update).
A maximum of 3 EXP and 5 Form can be rewarded after each stage.
After any stage I receive EXP or Form points
you guys get to decided where I put those stat gains to use.
All you have to do is comment on which category you want
1 of the stat gains to go (Ex. Mountain, Sprint, Flat, etc.)
The EXP points are used up first followed by the Form.
Each member can only say one category for themselves.
And it will go until all the points are used up.
If you have any questions about my training, leave a question below.
It looks confusing at first but it's rather simple,
and this will be the only method for me to progress talent wise.
You those wondering, I'm playing on expert difficulty.
