To the Ardennen...

Up at a friendly 8A.M. this morn... Well, we're always at that because Els (Noel's wife) makes sure of it with a sharp GOOD MORNING threat to anyone still happily slumbering.

We take off at 9:20 for the Tour de Namur. The mechanics showed up early to load clean bikes and equipment into the Mercedes sprinter van and spare bikes onto the director's Saab. Els is sitting across from me wrapping up some race food (fresh rice cakes from the local baker).

Shite! Gotta run.. I'll try to post at the race if there is a connection

Hey Nick,

We all miss you. Dad and I have been doing the usual gardening and cooking every weekend. Karl has been putting the truck to good use hauling stone. Ruthie is at fiddle camp this week, so I'm alone in the art dept. Did you get a cc'd email from her last week?

Hope you have a great race at the Ardennen.

Much love. Mom

Hiiidee-Ho, Nickska,

Sorry you're not getting to show you stuff in the mountains. Concerning the crosswinds; I've got some old windsurfing sails you could use. Have fun, hope to see you soon.
