I have been here a month and a week now and things are going good. Really happy in the house. Racing is so hard. And am getting a kicking but just need persistance and I will get there. And in a way its good to know that Im racing pro races so once I can do well in these races, thats it really. There arent too many more steps up past this.
Since ive been here, Ive done about 6 races. Mostly amateur, with one pro kermesse and one 1.1 (Drenthe). Drenthe was on Saturday and I got a ride because some one in the team was ill. I wasnt nervous at all before the race which is good. The neutralised start was really manic, with everyone trying to be right at the front. With 200 riders all cramming into tight roads with lots of corners it gets dangerous. There was a lot of riding on bike paths and stuff to get as far forward as possible. Once the race started, it was flat out and your riding in the wind because its all lined out in the gutter. Basically at the moment, the pace is just too hard so I end up losing wheels and moving back. But i will get there.
Apart from racing, the training has been going well. Life in the house is good. Everyone gets along well. I have to go and go food shopping now but I will do another one soon. And ill send some pictures through as well.
