Took M. over to Belgium last weekend for the Liège Bastogne Liège race and the challenge the day before.
What a week end and where to start? The Belgians - so friendly, Hotel - very helpful with bike.
Beautiful countryside, being the lone Englishman flying along in a large group with a tail wind,
Mavic man who saved my day, the climbs like I've never known before, the real buzz at the depart / arrivee with beer tents, music, massage, food and dry weather. Everything seemed to make sense, all he club runs, chain gangs, lone rides in filthy weather, the puncheur, it all seemed to come together to get me round that amazing ride.
I'm thinking about doing the Paris-Roubaix challenge or Tour of Flanders next year but I might well come back and do this again.
Sunday saw us at Place St Lambert for the depart and all that goes with it then after lunch up to Ans watching the race unfold on a massive screen then finishing in front of us, superb.
