So I arrived on the 28th of Feb, in Paris CdG....
It was 1 degree and really a big shock to the System.
It took me a few days just to adapt then start to think about riding, It turned out that my second day of riding I decided to go and race a local Kermis. I was on my housemate's (Tom David, NZer) seasoned cervelo, it has had a hard life to say the least. I wasn't to motivated for this race but thought it would be a good idea to open the legs up by rollin in the bunch.....
I got in the early break after the first lap and bounced and shuddered my way around for 80 odd K's with 5 others. We got caught in the end but 1 guy stayed clear with 3 new guys bridging over to him.
Thats really all the race news for the moment. But the exciting news is that I just finished building my team bike for this year.. Which is a Pinarello Paris, with Campgnolo grupo, It was a bit frustrating not having her sorted out directly upon arrival but it was worth the wait.
Im really looking forward to testing my legs on the 17th at GP Nogent (uci 1.2) in northern France.
Hopefully I will have the new bike dialed in by then.
Living situation is really awesome, Tom and Myself live with an awesome host family about 3km out of a town called Hoeselt. Its a nice rural setting with heaps of apples, pears and cherries to be found in the summer months.
Hoeselt: What would a small Belgium village be without 2 Kebab joints, 2 Bakeries, 2 or 3 Pubs. a Nacht Winkel and a few cobbles.
Thats about all for the moment, wish me luck for snow week coming up!
