Izegem so far...

A Sweet Car
The Town Square in Kortrijk
The Wall (really large vending machine 2 blocks away)
They have these bread machines everywhere
The House


These are some pictures of around Izegem, BE where we are staying. I have done two races so far, both kermesses. They are hard races, with attacks about every 10 seconds. In the first race, I missed all the moves that went, and ended up finishing 32nd. I was a little disappointed, so I decided I needed to be much more active the next race. I attacked too many times, and ended up a little burnt out for the end placing 18th. The atmosphere at these races is super cool though, with the registration being in a local cafe. Outside, there are a bunch of old guys betting on the different juniors in the races, and the write the wagers on these big white boards. There is quite a bit of prize money too, and I have won a total of 17 euros! Looks like I will be pretty rich by the time I get back. Well, that's it for now, when something eventful happens I will post again. Thanks for reading.

Hi Larry!

Glad to hear that everything
is going good.
I wish we had a fresh bread machine
at WSH - that would be sweet.
Good Luck with the racing!
