I’m back in Gent, Belgium after an extended period in the US. It was good to be in the US and decompress a bit, race a bit, and even train a bit. Now it’s time to grit my teeth again though and hit some more racing hard. I’ll be doing a few Kermesse races in the upcoming week before Tour of Wallonie(belgium) and Tour of Poland the following week. It’s been a little bit since my last race since racing in the US is almost impossible for a pro conti rider. I feel good on the bike, so I hope for some good luck and maybe results too.
I’m finally moving into my homebase in Gent after spending the spring in Tyler Farrar’s upstairs studio. He was awesome letting me crash there for a couple months while I got my bearings on Gent. Now I have my own flat that I am stoked about. There is so much activity and life in Gent. Reminds me a lot of athens, ga. Just super old and awesome! And as everyone know, if you don’t you should, the best beer and chocolate in the world. No doubt about it.
So here we go about to wind up the second whirl wind of racing for me this year in Europe. I’ll try to be a bit better about updating the site, but even now I don’t have internet and am after hours at a coffee shop outside there door for it! I’ll work on some pictures from the upcoming weeks festivities. If you not from Belgium you wouldn’t know it, but in Gent, Gent-Fest is about to begin tomorrow and it’s a week long festival where the city doesn’t sleep. Or so I’ve heard. Should be interesting…
