No L' Avenir.

For Team USA anyway. A definite bummer especially after making the trip and effort for the specific reason of getting to do that race. Miscommunication with the organizers was the reason given to us. There is speculation that the Floyd-Factor may have something to do with it as well.

I haven't really talked to anyone but Noel about my potential plans for the remainder of the trip. At this point my schedule looks like this:

Aug. 5-9 / Tour de Namur, Belguim

Aug 12-15 / Head to Bretagne, France for a series of one day events.

12/ GP Leon
13/ Prix Des Bles D' Or
14/ Prix De Amorique
15/ Prix De la Mi Aout

The days here in Izegem have been cooler lately and more in line with Belgian stereotype weather of wind and rain. It's funny to be so eager for the mellow time at the house during a difficult stage race and when it finally arrives the novelty wheres off the first day and your eager to race again as an excuse to get out of the house.

The routines are pretty much the same here as they are in the states, though.

Breakfast followed by internet everything... Then riding. And Grazing...

The dinning area is a virtual Wi-fi Cafe at all hours of the day.




I rode the Time Trial Bike today for an hour in the rain. Super nice bike that actually fits me... Go figure, time trials aren't to be feared if you're actually prepared.
