If you clicked on “Vince Roberge,” then you are are at the right spot. I should probably start this dairy with a quick introduction. I don't exactly know how many people will be reading this, but I would guess most of them will know me. For you strangers out there who are just surfing around, my name is Vince Roberge and I'm from Redford, Michigan, which is just outside Detroit. I have been racing my bike for 4 years now and I am 18 years old. I feel like I am one of the luckiest guys here at the Cycling Center because of the opportunity I have to learn and race in Belgium at such a young age. I truly love this sport and am thankful to be at the center of it all here in Europe. I have thank Bernard, Ann, and all of the CC staff for giving me this great opportunity.
Now on to Week 1. I would really like to make my diary unique and fun to read, so I will be doing a lot of lists. Since my entire stay at the Cycling Center revolves around learning, I have decided to title my diary with 3 letters: T.I.L. (Things I Learned) So here we go.
Get in a routine
Stretch a lot
Bring a map on training rides
Avoid large towns on training rides
When you carry a rain cape it doesn't rain (so far)
Get to the start line early
Fight for a good start position
The pace doesn't let up
Watch the fast Belgians
Race smart. Race smart. Race smart.
Eat, drink, eat
"You can always ride harder!", B.A.
Return your #, get 5 euros
Go out and train for another 3 hours.
Thanks for reading. Until next week.
Vince
