After 38 hours of travelling I was pretty stoked to arrive in Belgium. Arrived into Brussels at about 7pm and had a 40km drive east to Blauberg! Didn't see much of it as we arrived because it was pitch black and I was a bit tweaked. Woke up in the morning to a veeeeery fresh Belgium morning. Amazing day though, sun was out and wind was non-existent. After I got out of bed I ate some porridge. The porridge was yum.
Cam cooking up some delectable delight no doubt
We then drove to Holland for the last day of the UCI Track World Champs. Was some pretty mad racing. Then got to mingle with Theo Bos at the private Rabobank function which we were invited to as they are one of our key sponsors. Got back to Blauberg pretty late after that last night so was straight to bed to try battle the jet lag. It is messing me round a bit. Waking up at about 5 every morning and not able to get back to sleep. Should be good in a few days!
Here are some pictures of the house. Pretty choice wee set-up, got everything we need.
Went for our first ride today. Was pretty cold but again it was a sunny day with not much wind. Went for about 80km in the end. Training is pretty flat around here which isn't the best but got to make do with what you have got! Weather has been amazing since I arrived which apparently isn't really the norm for Belg.
We have a store right beside us which is convenient but a bigger supermarket just down the road which is better as it is a lot cheaper.
First race is a 120km Kermesse on Sunday which should be interesting. No idea how the form is. Then next Wednesday we have a 110km Kermesse around the finishing circuit for Scheldipris and race on it just before the pros come through to finish so that should be pretty sick.
Cheers
WB
