The Weather Switch

After the race on Thursday the Tour de La Manche team did 2 additional hard days of training to get our bodies in stage race mode. Friday and Saturday were both 6 hour days with some work on the TT bike and plenty of hills. My legs were feeling pretty good despite the high training volume. I feel like the form is headed in the right direction and am looking forward to the race. Had myself a low key recovery day yesterday with a team BBQ in the evening. It seems like someone flipped the weather switch here in Belgium... beautiful blue skies and temps in the 70s! Because Belgium doesn't get this kind of weather often, the country drops everything to BBQ and enjoy life. Most people "made the bridge" from the Holiday on Thursday, so it was a 4 day weekend of good times for Belgians. And yes, "making the bridge" is a common term here.

Leave for Normandy on Wednesday. The race is Thursday- Sunday and the website is http://www.cyclisme50.com/
