Long Time Coming

Hello Everyone.

This update has been a long time coming. I have just been waiting for a few topics to write about. Well internet access has been hard to come by, we have it set up but the adsl wont be turned on until 9th april and we had found a house across the street that has wireless so that was good for a few nights until he caught us and had us running like indians. So we decided to stay away from there for a while. Our internet isn't too far away which will make life a whole lot easier. Other than that, 2 weeks ago the snow decided to fall, and fall it did for 10 days with only 2 of those days being able to get out for a ride, 1hr - 1.15 if we were lucky before the cold toes and fingers got the better of us and had us heading back to the farm house for hot coffee and toasted sandwiches to warm up. Before the snow set in Josh and I rode down to Holland and rode the course for Maastrict-Valkenberg. One of the big one day classics close to our town. a good 200km, we skipped some and ended up lost and rolling home 6 and a half hours later which was a good day. So the form was coming good before the snow set in. So its now back to getting a few miles in the legs and some work behind the motor bike to get a bit of speed back.

Off the bike for 10 days wasnt all bad though. We played the tourist game making the most of the time to get some sight seeing in. So with the snow delaying my first race by 2 weeks I will now make an apperance tomorrow. An 80km circuit race in Holland. So finally i will take to the start line. Has been a long time waiting and frustrating at times but has all worked out now. I also got given my team bike and a whole lot of team kit. Early christmas.

Lastly, Team bodysol-euromillions was presented on Tuesday. With a media presentation and lunch date in the morning and presented to the public Tuesday night. Was a great day spent getting to know my team mates and playing tenpin bowling which i was convincingly useless at haha.

We are also going to view a new house next week which will be cool. I will post some pictures tomorrow along with and update from the race.

Thanks for reading,
Ryan
