Saturday officially started the 2012 travel/racing season with a trip to The Netherlands, flying from Tucson, AZ to Amsterdam - not to bad of a flight plan actually, only one stop in Houston.
So far it has been overcast everyday and the terrain and environment reminds me a lot of the MS delta - flat, farm lands, cold and dreary and lots of ducks! Ha! Minus the big trucks, it seems the same:)
We race on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and I’m excited to get back to racing. We’ve checked out some of the cobbles from Saturday’s course and it seems the more I ride them, the more comfortable(if that’s possible) it feels. It reminds me a lot of cyclocross in the sense when you first see a cyclocross course, you take it easy and pick your line as best you can, then after a lap or so, you start attacking it more and more until it feels comfortable - yeah, something like that.
Other than that, just relaxing and having fun with the girls!
