Hello to all,
Well here is the update from the 27th of September,
27th Just went out for a nice easy spin in the wind.
28th Had a race in Sint Laureins where my string of wheel breaking continued this time heading out of a corner on the last lap ping goes a spoke in my front wheel as some guy thought it was nice to swing into my front wheel a few laps earlier. So therefore didn't think it would be safe contesting a mass sprint so tried to ride off which did split up the bunch but didn't let me escape that easily so end up finish 19th.
29th Went for a nice easy ride with a friend down to Oudenaarde where we had lunch before heading back to Gent.
30th This was a slighty bigger race in the size of the field nearly 120 starters. Also this course at Tielt was bigger than usual with 2 little climbs one which had a Clasification on which I ended up finishing second in. Coming into the last lap was kaose as was still a big bunch so managed to postion myself no to badly going through the tight technical section of the course before entering the town where moved up the bunch on the hill ready for the dash to the line unfortunately got a little boxed in but once got out went on my merry way to claim 9th place.
1st October just headed out for a gentle spin.
2nd Raced in Hoogelede which involved a we trip in the car to get to the race it was pissing with rain which made for slippery roads surprisingly only sore 1 crash in the race mid way through on a corner. Had a solid race and finish 6th in the mass sprint.
3rd Got up to not much caught up on the house chores.
4th Raced a Dienze Pettegem was a windy day on a short course unfortunately missed the break of 5 riders so just took it easy till the last lap where I powered away from the bunch to claim 6th again.
5th Easy ride
6th Lottenhulle another race in the wet unfortunately wasn't my day tried tough ending up 10th.
7/8 easy rides
9th Hoogelede the smallest field since ive been here only 24 starters but my legs did not want to be pedalling so hung on for half the race before calling it a day as knowing had another race tomorrow altough still finished 14th.
10th Raced in Deerlijk which was another big field with 113 starters so made for mayhem on the first few laps the pace was hot, which only left 2 groups in the race with about 15 in the front an 25 in the rear unfortunately for me I was in the rear, due to some more disasters with my wheels this time 1 spoke in my back wheel went at 3 laps in then 1 in my front a few laps later but still hung in there as the wheels were still managing to turn round. It all came back together then split with 4 laps to go and me been in the second split not surprising with wheels like that. Unfortunately on the last lap got a puncture so had to roll home in 21st place which was not bad considering all that had happened.
11th Took it easy went for a we look a the park where I took this picture above looking towards the Sint Petiers Station Gent.
12th Last race of the season in Hiest Op Den berg which was on the other side of Anterpwen unfortunately didn't go so well just finishing in main bunch 46th actually.
Hope you enjoyed the read
God Bless
Chris
