Round and round!!!!

Tower Brugge

Hi Everybody
Been awhile since the last update. Had a week off the bike after the last race in October.
During that week went for 2 runs first one ran 8k then the next on did 11k so my legs got a we shock from that as haven't run since the triathalon I did back in March.
The following week started back riding this time on the track with a few easy rides on the road and tried a cyclo-x race as well, which found out that it was not for me, so will be spending the winter on the track.
So the last weeks of October were mainly spent at the track training altough did managed to get out for some rides on the weekend on the road which was quite pleasent riding through all the autumn leaves on the country roads of Belgium. Also in October found a church in Gent, so have been attending.



On the 5th of November the track bike didn't fear so well after a few sprints in a session on the track could here a creaking noise (not the first time iv'e heard this noise) Oh dear I thought to myself.
The sound didn't to good so I slowed down and to checked sure enough found a crack in the Stearing tube not just one either, two one in the top an one on the bottom so that was the end to that track session. So the next few days road on my road bike until sorted out another bike for the track.


Managed to sort out a track bike so got back training on the track and even got to ride on the Kuikpe 166m track which is wicked as its like a merry go round you fly through the laps really quick and alot more force going into the banking. So can't wait for the track racing to begin over here.

God Bless
Chris
