wow... today was gorgeous! i am very keenly aware of how lucky i am to be here, but today... today was one of those days where that reality of just how lucky you are grabs you and shakes you. i was giddy today on the bike. loving every minute of where we were and what we were doing.
we had SUCH a great ride today... we were pre-riding some of the sections of tomorrow’s world cup race, and this area is particularly beautiful. i am posting a video of today’s riding, so that you can see what it is going to be like- but it is going to be INSANE!
we have a few cobble sections, and this time, the cobbles are more like small rocks glued together with concrete. but they are through gorgeous wooded areas that are bright green with the new leaves. we race here though small towns, but also through the woods and countryside. it is simply beautiful- but not something that we will have the luxury of enjoying tomorrow!
the race has a bunch of intermediate sprints tomorrow... not joking here- they are on the COBBLES! i can’t imagine the insanity of it! i think that tomorrow’s race might just break up. the roads are so narrow, that position from the gun will be critical. either way- we are expecting another flat, fast one... more hard racing in the netherlands!
