Ter Aar, Euro trip #2

We just finished Redlands Bicycle Classic where my teammate, Megan, started in the yellow jersey and finished the same way. It was a hard race with some tedious moments of counting seconds but Megan was savvy enough to keep an eye on those that mattered and gain extra seconds when she needed to.


The race finished on Sunday and we were on a plane to Amsterdam early Monday morning -uft. First flight was to Chicago, then on to Amsterdam by Tuesday morning. Once here, the craziness has started - we’ve had some serious laughing since. We’ve won GC at Redlands, we can all relax till the next race and we are jet lagged in a foreign country with some funny phrases - yeah, we are laughing a lot.


The 2 rides haven’t been to hard on the legs, it felt good to get them going again after the travel and racing. The sun has been out, the grass is green and things are about to bloom here - it’s beautiful! Tomorrow we head closer to the Flanders course and to preview a part of it - we race on Sunday.


Enjoy the photos....


Wheeler waving from behind the sea of bike boxes and bags.....we each had a cart that looked like that....
Amanda is always being safe....please note the window break tool above her....
My area....for a couple of days at least....
Stairs from our room to the kitchen and bathroom, makes for an interesting pee walk in the middle of the night....
Snow globe collection above the table...
View from the kitchen, the netting is another bed for a rider and we were doing massages in the living room....tight squeeze!
I think this is coffee. Whatever it is, we've had a good laugh on that one....
Their little owl critters for sale...
The collection....
Small road, windmill, canal...the usuals....

Reading: People magazine
Listening: teammates typing in the background
Eating: food at all hours, my body isn't sure what time of day it is....
Watching: Soccer on TV
Feeling: ready for another good sleep!
