Hey all!
Im have been here in Belgium for a little over a week now. Im loving it! I have already raced 4 times, and just found out today that I am racing Paris Roubaix!
Raced Zellick Galmaarden Sunday. By far the hardest yet most fun races I have ever done! 180k length and 235 riders.Our team consisted of: Myself, Kurt Carlsen, Chris Monteleone, Chris Barton, Cole House and Austin Carrol. Along with some of the toughest cobble climbs in Belgium. Race had 2 large laps to start then 5 laps on the Murr along with 2 other cobble climbs and then finished with one large lap. I felt pretty good today, it took me a lap to get used to the agressive riding of everyone but I became comfortable. I tried riding the front the best I could all day. I survived it until the last time up the Murr. Mid way up two riders crashed and I had to unclip and walk the rest. Its ok though, I had a great time and learned a ton. Only 1 rider from my team finished, Austin Carrol. I know with a few more races in me I will be able to do something in one of these big races.
Cannot wait! Next races are Holland in Holland and then Monday in Luxenburg. Ill keep everyone posted.
