1st of July it was a cracker of a day real nice and hot, so i got on my bike and went for a long ride and caught up with Tom David before he heads to Junior Worlds.
2nd went for easy 2hour ride with Karl and then that afternnon Jessie, Marc, Brei, Sam, Pete and me all caught the train from Arschot into Antwerppe which is probably the biggest shopping city in belg so went and got myself some new jandals and had dinner which was pretty good, the train on the way back to Arscot took 2 hours and it only should of taken 45min as there was problems withthe railroad barriers so all the trains had to go slow so we ended up getting back at around 10.30pm not 9pm when we were thinking we would be back.
3rd did a 3hour ride with 2hours in the middle being a time trial which hurt a bit.
4th went for an easy ride with the guys.
5th Malle Kermesse/race this was 130k 13laps of 10k up by Gent. Marc Ryan ended up winning, i finished in 25th, sam 33rd and all the others had a solid ride as well. It was quite a hard race as it was wet and was a rather technical circuit with lots of turns which ment it was slippery while wet.
6th Rest Day just chilled out in Tielt did some study
7th was supposed to have done 5min efforts today but legs were to stuffed from the weekend and so i just cruised for a couple of hours.
8th Just went for an easy ride tried to dodge the rain but failed and ended up get one down pour drench me so that was nice. Made a Cake to celebrate Jessie's birthday with the others.
So the end of being with the track guys is coming up, with the last tour with them starting on Friday in the region about 2hours north of Bordeux. We are driving there on thursday as is about a seven hour drive then once the tour finishes im joining the rest of the U23 guys in Limoux which is another long drive. Going to miss being with the Team Pursuiters but on the other hand looking forward to the better roads/weather of Limoux.
Later
