I'm off with Mark to Oudenaarde for a few days to ride Roubaix pave and the best hellingen and kasseien that Flanders can provide. The weather forecast looks crap but the riding will be memorable. I shall report back with pics and film and a certain hint of smugness.......
A new bike:
I shall be taking a Planet X titanium prototype disc cross bike on the trip - seems like a good place to try the legendary Ti comfort, as well visiting the Donk cross training area, beloved of our own Helen Wyman, Gabby Day, Fieldy and a host of other Belgian based crossers. Report also to follow.
Embro and other cross goodies:
Seeing as the weather is set to be bobbins in Flanders, I shall be taking some a sample of some new cross-specific embrocation with me to keep warm. From US based North West Knee Warmers, this is due to be imported by exciting new cross emporium Fangoso. Johnny Shaw, well known on the North West and Notts cross-scene is putting together a fantastic collection of imported Belgian and US products for the discerning cross fanatic. Can't wait...
