Flanders……
De Ronde as it’s called in Belgium is this Sunday! The classics are upon us. It’s the time of year the super hardened riders come to the front. There is so much written about these races, I won’t pretend to know it all. What I do know is that those roads are narrow, the cobbles ruff and the climbs or “bergs” are leg busting steep. This photo was taken in January 2006 at the foot of the Koppenberg….if the racers are able to see at this point they will hit this sign area and make a more than 90 degree right turn and be at the foot of one of the nastiest climbs around. Barely a bike wide and at one point 22 degrees steep….ouch. While there I rode this thing 6 times…just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I would love to be there Saturday as they have an event for us mere mortals….citizens that take on most of the PRO route.
I haven’t watched any cycling on TV this year, but will most likely be doing so on Sunday!
Go to the English version of the Belgian site:
De Ronde
I see by the weather it’s calling for 42 and 70% chance of rain……sounds perfect.
I’m pulling for Hoste’, but have a felling it will be Boonen.
Cheers.

A perfect day for a Classic. Cold, rain, windy and freeking hard course. Other than cross season this month is my favorite race month of the year.
I’m putting my money on Nick Nuyens.
The party has begun in the Grote Markt, according to the live webcam! This morning all theteam cars were parked there.
