Tour of Flanders Sportif
Back from a great weekend in Belgium.
140 km of riding on part of the course of one of cyclings' spring classics, the Tour of Flanders.
Cobbles and pointy little hills and freezing rain made for a tough ride. Andy,Mark and myself were all shivering at the end.
5'20" ish for the 140K, a hillier ride than last weekends Cheshire Cat at 150K, and only 20 minutes slower.
I'm happy with that.

I debated whether I could manage 85miles on Friday while the children were at school - obviously would have been ok if I could have wheel sucked you all the way ;-)

It was miserable, that photo does not show my chattering teeth, or onset of hypothermia.
Splendid. Proper Belgian rouleur weather. See you at Kinder Downfall on Sunday?
Kinder Downfall, yep, see you there. Don't forget your waterproofs.
Some good information here. I've enjoyed many of your recent posts.
