Settled into racing.

Hi Everybody

Had a awesome week really, getting over that jetlag and settling into the way things run over here.
Raced twice since the last update.

2nd race i did was a Criterium Friday night. It was definately a step up from the crits back home, this was held on a circuit 1.6k long which had 3 corners which were definately far from flowing I would say, we did 46 laps which made for a good 150 sprints out of the corners ouch. However managed to pull a respectable 9th for my second race.

Saturday was planing on going for a nice 2hours, went out on my journey to get to the other side of Gent altough a few horrible Tram lines lay in between getting there so it all turned to custard when bang goes the back tyre as i cross the tramline which slashed my back tyre, oh deah least I didn't crash just made for a trip to the bike shop to get another tyre which was a change in direction on where I intended on going. On the way back cruised through a few cool old towns got a cool we pic from one of the we towns I rode through.






Sunday had the 3rd Race which was a race out of Borsbeke which was held on open roads and had 150 starters making for a fast race despite a nice little hill on the 9.1k circuit which we had to do 13 times. This was far from my best race but deffinately not my worst finishing 29th just in the prize money as they only payed top 30. Then we had a nice we ride back home.


Jazz Stage

Went out and had a look around the town as the Festival of Gent is on at the moment. Man there was alot of people out an about on the cannals and Streets, they had all kinds of things happening, from Jazz, skits, bands and maybe 6+ stages all round the centre of Gent. Was pretty cool evening though didn't understand a word they were saying.

God bless
