CYCLING Ronde van Vlaanderen - FLANDRIJA 02
Having ridden the Sportive the day before you can not help having a new found respect for the riders. It is hard, it was cold, it was the Ronde. I'll be back, as due to a crash, I have unfinished business.
The attraction of the cobbles had been present for a long time, after riding it, the vibration and the pain in the wrists is nothing short of infectious. A new adrenaline fix for the two wheeled junkie. You can see why certain riders fall in love with it, while others will fake illness to escape the cobbled classics.
For me the countdown towards April has begun, and with it some serious miles will need to be put in. I'll never be fast like the Belgian flahutes, but next year hopefully no crashes will make it worthwhile.
