Tour of Belgium Stage 2

Right onto stage 2.
Was not really looking foward to today when i woke to rain, and sore legs.
Luckily the legs cleared up after 100km and i was able to get amongst it for the last 100km.

Eventually the rain cleared after a couple of hours!
The first 2hrs were crazy, 48km/h average!
No wonder my legs were bad!

Anyway was going pretty good until 5km to go when the road narrowed for a 1 way tunnel, kinda like the old one at Matata, because i was moving up the outside i kinda ran out of room and hit the side of it. A wee bang to the knee and elbow but nothing to bad. I almost rejoined the peloton, i got there and the last guy in the line just stopped pedaling and i couldn't get around him so ended up losing some more time, 1m 48 to be exact although i was still quite happy as my legs pulled up well after yesterday. I have got some amazingly strong legs at the moment which is nice.

Also found an Aussie in the bunch and was finally able to speak some english and have a good old chat.

The cobbled climbs were a hoot. Wet and slippery, got over them no problem and things progressed.

Tomorrow is 185km down in my area of Belgium, actually the stage goes through my home town after 25km so that will be a highlight! The finale is all up hill too so expect some time gaps, i feel good so will see what i can do.

Anyway now it's time for some dinner and a massage and then put the legs up.

Until then,
Ryan
