Hope this reaches everyone well.

Well where to start. Been a good week, busy but good.
Training went well. Started using the SRM to full usage.
For those of you new to SRM, its a wee device that goes on the bike and tells you how much power you are putting out, so its basically like taking the lab riding with you. So each day i set out and can ride to the exact number of wattage. Makes training interesting and can ride each day to the T. It's also quite interesting to come home and download the days training and see how much power you were putting out at any given time during the ride. Anyway thats enough of me ranting on about that.

Everydays been standard really, wake up at routine 8am, breakfast and coffee while the important things are checked out on the net then on the bike by 10. Belgium has turned on a nice week whether wise for us. With today topping out at 25 degrees. And with the Tour of Romandie being ridden in Switzerland it was a good chance for us to catch some tv time post ride.

We were spose to move into the new house Friday but due to our new beds being delayed in getting dropped off we will now be moving tomorrow (Monday). So today we tried to pack a few things up and even went out for dinner so we didn't dirty any more dishes.

So trainings been pretty good this week and today topped it off. I sit here writing this while just being able to keep my eyes open. John, you wanted me home tired, well i went one better. I can't wait to goto bed!! Even had to stop for coke. A big block of hard riding was done and in a few weeks i'll be better off for it. Even got my first bit of sunburn today!

This week has also seen me sit down and re-write all my goals for this year. So i will now endevour to get to the level needed to achieve these goals. Will keep you posted.

Unfortunately the week saw no more road trips due to training and Joen racing on Tuesday, but this week will see some fun things encounted. Might even go para gliding with Joen's parents adventure business at some stage, but i will have to get the nerve to jump off a cliff first.

Anyway i only wrote this as procrastination so i didn't have to pack my room, but i will get onto a proper one tomorrow or the next day. May have a race on Tuesday too so there something i can write about. Will post some pic's of non cycling stuff too and give you full commentry on them all but ill leave you guys in suspence for a few days before i get onto that.

Got Logan, who hails from Papamoa but living up northern Beglium coming down for a few days this week too so im sure there will be a few laughs had over a glass or 2 of red wine. Speaking of red wine, theres an un finished bottle that needs to disapear before we leave here tomorrow. Must get onto that.

Will be back with more news soon.

Take care,

Ryan
