There are several races every weekend in 100km zone later in the season there is even almost every day at least one

Default So you wanna race in Belgium eh ?...........

As this "theme" is starting on Northern Belgium's supposed
"lack of hills", i would like to take the opportunity to say
ITS A LIE !! " ITS A TRICK!!
THEY HAVE THEM HIDDEN EVERYWHERE....

Cobbles, windswept plains, windy concrete roads, highway bridges, (yep trust me they hurt)

dont believe me ?? try racing a kermesse that uses narrow paths, on a windy day, 180 starters, open and exposed, hurtling along a narrow path lined out 50-55kmh , brake, sharp turn, then sprint up a gradual rise (crosswind) to cross a motorway bridge and once you survived that, you only got another 18 laps to go...............

Hills dont have to be high to hurt....

Kemmelberg, Bberendries,Kluisberg, Eikenberg, those are just the well knwon ones, pleny of them are "minor" but can still make you cry.

EPREX-> You should be on the front to avoid situations like that

Thank you for your help with kalendars. Maybe we see in Belgium next spring, summer or autumn(I haven't decided which time to go there and it costs lot of money to stay longer) but first I go to Mallorca for training and I'll ride Cinturon Ciclista Mallorca too

Done a kermesse at Schoten today(scheldeprijs for U23 and elite)

273 starters came in 39th (about 20 riders clear and then a bunch sprint with about 200) with an average of 45,1km/u top speed on flat road with a litte tailwind 68km/u.

There were riders from 6 or more TT3 teams at the start.
