Londerzeel

I am getting really far behind with the blogging, but like I said last time it is mainly due to the loss of my wireless conection at the house and also because I have been rather busy the last few days.
On the weekend I raced both days. Saturday we drove to the race in the pouring rain and hoped for the skies to clear up the entire way to Londerzeel. Once we arrived the weather did improve and I was pumped to race again after four whole days without competition. I started out really well position wise, going in the first serious move of the day. I soon discovered that I didn't have the best legs though as I dangled 50m off the split without being able to close the gap on the group of 5 that stayed away the entire day. As the race wore on rain came and went making the tight urban section of the course very dangerous with the "zebra paths" turning into slide strips. With the tight corners the peleton was blown to pieces every time through the section and I eventually found myself in a small group away, but only afer about 30 riders worth of the same type of groups had rolled away. In the end I narrowly missed the top spot in our group sprint after I launched a few hundred meters out and I had to settle for 34th.
