A week in between

We had a week in between racing so we've been and will be in Sittard for the remainder of the trip - Fitland to be exact:)  The days have been filled with food, yoga, riding, food, laundry, small excursions into town and just getting rested up and prepared for the next block of races which start on Sunday with Gelderland.

We race Fleche Wallone on Wednesday, then Borsele on Saturday before flying home on Sunday, so lots of racing in a week.

Here are some pictures of the fun....I mean work I've been doing....
