Just a final word before I take to my final race and then head back to Calgary.
This has been an incredible racing trip this year. In many ways I feel that I have made a huge breakthough as a cyclist and that I have really discovered myself and my potential. The racing has been great and I feel that I am very prepared to take on the national championships and earn my spot on the U23 national squad for worlds.
I just want to say a quck thanks to everyone here for all of their support and generousity. Belgians are truely amazing people as is there culture and country. I have been incredibly fortunate to have yet again had the chance to spend time here and am very thankful for everything that has been done to make these last two months possible.
I know that another trip to Belgium waits in the near future, but leaving is tough regardless. I will truely miss the people, bicycle culture and the racing. Racing here is harder than any other place on earth, but it is like a giant university of cycling. If you want to learn how to race a bike this is the place to be and every day I am here I have to pinch myself and remeber how lucky I am to be a scholar in this ultimate theater of competition.
T o my friends in Belgium thank you very, very much for yet another incredible time and to my friends in Canada I will see you very soon. Now i just have to get top 20 tomorrow....
Bring the good legs,
PEr

Good luck in your race Per. Come and visit me down in Texas for some late fall/early winter riding in the gorgeous weather on the fantastic roads down here.
