IMG_1256.JPGSo got round to booking my entry and Eurostar ticket in the last couple of daysfor the Flanders sportif. Worried about my fitness, 140km is a long way in early April but plan to enjoy it. And the beer and frites while watching the pro's on Sunday.
Surprised at the entry fee of just 14 euro's, would be a lot more in the UK.

Already done a weeks worth of hours this week at work, very little riding going on M-F. But still, looking forward to it all the same. The 23% will be tough but I will have my fitness compensator! Good luck.
See you there. In spite of being horribly unfit, I can't wait!
And be ready to climb this!
