The Pollen count scale tops out at 12. Today, the count is supposed to be 11.2!!! Enjoy.
Here's a little racing from the last few days...
E3 Harelbeke (Just watch the last 40km or so)
Gent-Wevelgem (last 25km)
E3H was better racing. Just sayin'....
Nice of Farrar to sketch out and ruin Griepel's Spring campaign too!
Saturday was a slog. I slept in...WHAT? Yeah...until 8:30. How very odd...
The Salsa got it's last ride before going to the media blaster. 2 hours. Out thru the dirt, or should I say, heavy wetness that was The Powerstation.
Sunday, it was breezy....for the first 3 hours. The last 30 minutes was an exercise in courage. 20-25mph head to head/cross winds on 12th St., that begat a ripping 9mph climb over the I-77 overpass. It was actually a bit sketchy at a couple of points. I honestly don't think I've ridden in gusty wind like that before.
The rest of the ride was good. Crosswind going out. Dead tail heading into Swansea that lead to a 40mph town line sprint. Crosswind across the ridge, and then the aforementioned slap in the mouth by Ma Nature.
Every ride has a price one must pay. Sunday's entry fee just came at the end.
It's supposed to be nice, and pollen-y, all week. Get some Nasacort, and go outside. It will be 90+ degrees before we know it!
Time to go to Target...

E3 Harelbeke was like watching a boxing match. Sagan and Thomas exchanging punches with OPQS. Reading over Van Averamet's comments pretty much summed it "...Vandenbergh attacked from behind. And then they were gone."
I liked it when Sagan just looked over at Thomas, and the unspoken agreement was made to cover everything OPQS threw. That was great racing...
