Day Three

I think that I am finally getting over my jetlag and am beginning to feel better. It looks like my saddle slipped yesterday by more than 1cm so before the ride today I moved the saddle back up before the ride today.

We rode to Wevelgem today along the canals. I was surprised to see the finish line of Gent-Wevelgem was a permanent installation in-front of the local bike shop. Belgium truly is a cycling crazed nation. Not only was the finish line a permanent landmark, but the exploits of local and professional cyclists completely dominates the local paper, even including yesterdays race in Dikkibus.

I am looking forward to the race on Saturday. I’m feeling much better and I should hopefully be able to finish in the top twenty.
