With my last two posts being about shitty belgian weather and resulting colds, the weatherman decided to mix things up by throwing in the best 3 days of weather since we arived all in a row.
"Pilots Playing Naughts and Crosses in the sky"
Thankfully taking it easy on Sunday and Monday, had paid off and by tuesday i was fighting fit again, which was just as well because tuesday would be another Recon ride, where all the riders in the pre selection for the upcomming stage race UCI 2.12 2 days of Gaverstreek, would go and have a good hitout over the cobbled climbs appearing in the race. I felt and rode strongly all ride, up the cobbled climbs in particular, which are the main deciding factors in the race, and as a result gained selection for the race which is both a good and bad thing as it means I get to race the teams first stage race of the season and another 2 chances to prove my worth to the team, but also means that i will miss watching Paris-Roubaix live on the TV :(
After gaining selection, i decided to skip the Kermese i was scheduled to race on wedesday in favour of another long day at the cobbled climbs, and got a solid 5 hours in, in 20 degree sunshine with minimal wind, before settling down at the desk to make a start on the essay due next week and the back log of study i should have already done.
