In the local laps, turning off of the finishing stretch. This photo was around 130 km in the race with 40 km still to go. Here I'm contemplating on which of the 5 laps remaining we will catch the escape, didn't happen.
The bike I am on is the Fuji SL, very lightweight and yet very strong. After several races plus a stage race, I cannot find a single fault in the bike. A good fit helps, but if it can handle cobbles and the racing here then it's good enough for me. The SRAM Force group is new issue to me for the year, but the same group I raced last year. Shifting is responsive, braking is powerful, cranks are stiff, all I want and need.
The pair of white dashed lines on the road mark a bike lane, while the raised pavement lined with cobble stones is another bike lane. Bike lanes and paths like these are constant and everywhere in Belgium.

Aaron it is official I just got accepted today. If you want to move in together we should talk about it soon! My buddy Ryan is looking for a place as well so we can really get the rent down if we all go in together. Give me a call at 889-9220 or we can skype it up if you have it. Hope all is well in Belgium!
P.S. Brent got a sweet trek and we rode down to the Old Market last weekend! We took Giles and he said it reminded him of when you two used to.
that sounds awsome man, I'll give you a call in the next day or two
