Back racing again, last week had my first race back on Wednesday a 170k Interclub in Oudenburg which is sort of towards the coast to the left of Brugge. This race was a bit longer than the usual kermesse (Race).
So wasn't to bad apart from the rain towards the end an been a big bunch maybe around 170 riders making it very fast, on the last lap got caught behind a crash which made the bunch split up as for wrist seamed to of copped alright, was a little sore for the last 2laps an grabing bottles out of the feed station.
Ended up 55th about 20sec behind winner an was pretty happy just to finish an get that one behind me as needed to find out how I was going.
Took it easy on Thursday just went for a little spin in the morning then went an watched the Japanese Juniors do there final Kermesse.
On Friday packed up for the day an headed off across the border into Holland for a Criterium in Zierikzee which didn't go so well as had cobbles so pulled out after a few laps as didn't want to upset wrist. Got a nice Ice-Cream tough.
Spent the night in Gent then went for an easy spin back down the canal home on Saturday.
Sunday race was alot better as wrist is now strong enough to change gears from the hoods now the race was in Maria Aalter it was held in rather nasty conditions which was definately to my favour windy an hail/rain which split the race up quite nicely me ending up 3rd so pretty happy to be starting to get back to where I was before I crashed.
Monday had another race in Ooigem which didn't go so well as legs were cramping from about half way but still managed to sprint and get 10th.
Today just chilled out and had a nice well deserved rest day.
God Bless

Me just before the crit in Holland as you can see only got a little bit of road rash left on my leg.An eye has healed up quite nicely.
Have still got wisdom tooth nudging its way through.
