it was a one hour drive to the start yesterday during which the weather changed like 10 times from going to rain to bright and sunny!
Finally at the race start after collecting our numbers and going to start chaging, it poured! but only for 5 or so minutes but we were pretty moody as we also couldnt really warm up! we all had a lousy stomach from the lunch too! consolation was that the race started off at a more reasonable pace due to the rains! Dinah and the only other girl started at the front! Today i finally managed to get in the very front of the pack and stay there! there were a few attacks but the big move was made at 40 km into the race and the 2nd move about 60km! none of the moves we were in stuck! especially so for marcus who was in a chase pack of 4 riders trying to catch the 2nd break for a good 4-5km without succeeding! i really though they would get there!
For the bunch sprint, we helped to be sure dinah beat the other girl for the trophy and we all got 5 euros each traveling money(which we would want to add to our quiche/frites fund!)
marcus got 26th, dinah 28th and luke 31st.
Another glorious sunset today! and the bikes are flithy!!
