This is kind of embarrassing:

Again, I didn't get lapped 4 times, I got lapped with 4 laps to go. There has to be a better way to score lapped riders that reflects when they got lapped. I have to work on that.  read more »

As I just wrote to a few friends, my trip to Europe ended to with me careening into a tree in a really muddy, steep, switchback descent in some God-forsaken place in the middle of nowhere, Czech Republic.

The broken knuckle will heal ok, but I snapped my left hand Red shifter clear in half. And I don't mean the lever. I mean the shift body, like the hood itself. I guess I might have had the clamp a little tight.

I just got to the airport hotel in Prague and have to catch up on work here, but I'll try to blog more before I fall asleep.

I was so excited about Woerden, I couldn't wait to blog about it. Instead, I spent the next morning packing up all my stuff at Sten's place in Lille, and then driving with my old Nerac teammate Nic Smutny 11 hours from Belgium to his home in the Czech Republic.  read more »

I shoulda bought it when I had the chance.

I finished on the lead lap at Nacht van Woerden, AND I got 25th place, the last prize money spot. Prize money. I can't even believe it.

It's 1:30 here now so I'll write more tomorrow. But I actually did everything I said I was going to in the race today. I attacked every single section of the course, from start to finish. I finally felt like a bike racer. And I got a result I can finally be proud of.

Rochefort 8 right now. More tomorrow.
