The adventure continues this weekend with an incredibly surprising twist. From racing with Boonen and McEwan to Interclubs to Stage Races to Post Tour Crits to an mtb race!?! I did race mtb once. In fact I even raced a World Cup, the last one before our good friend Filip got busted for EPO, but that is another long story from before the blogger days. One thing I never did while racing mtb was race a World Championship so this weekend I am going to take care of that as I have entered the 2007 World Marathon Mountain Bike Championships in Verviers. Obviously I won't be actually racing with the pros, but in the Open race we will be racing the same course only minutes behind the pro start so it is as close as I can get at this point. On a borrowed hardtail I am looking forward to reconnecting with my dirt roots and experiencing a fresh challenge in the Belgian Ardennes. 105 km of bliss, I am shaking with anticipation.
Thanks to Sammy for setting up the bike and facilitating the entry. 5 Sportzone riders will be competing which is going to make for a fun weekend.
What a year this is turning out to be.
