Santa keeps on giving
What a guy. Looking remarkably like my mother, Santa came and brought me quite possibly the most important cycling garment I now own, the Endura Stealth mtb jacket. Used it twice already and it kicks ass.

Bilzen toertocht = mud fest






22km in and nearing death...mud soaked through even garment. The hot soup at the bevooradering (the halfway waffle tent) was salty and a gift from heaven. From here it was only 16km from the finish....16 long, wet, muddy, slow kilometers...

Lummaloop night ride

Our international crew rolled out last night in the deep dark forest of Lummen. Conditions pure Belgium - endless mud pits and myriad consistencies of the slippery stuff. Jo, Alex, Maarten, and I donned our lights and cold weather gear for a good slosh in the wet.


Despite Alex's rear shock blowing up early in the ride (that's what he gets for riding a fully suspended bicycle in Flanders...), things were pretty ok until Maarten took a header into a ditch, in a spectacular fashion.

No mtbing for one month. No, more.
Ja it is kind of starting to suck. Too long without a spin on the lummaloop. We're planning a night ride with the belgians tomorrow but if it rains.....could be cancelled.

In the meantime here's a pic on Mike Parsell's fat chance in oakridge.
