This is kind of embarrassing:

Again, I didn’t get lapped 4 times, I got lapped with 4 laps to go. There has to be a better way to score lapped riders that reflects when they got lapped. I have to work on that.
It would also be great if you could put little self-made notes that they [...]

As I just wrote to a few friends, my trip to Europe ended to with me careening into a tree in a really muddy, steep, switchback descent in some God-forsaken place in the middle of nowhere, Czech Republic.
The broken knuckle will heal ok, but I snapped my left hand Red shifter clear in half. And [...]

I was so excited about Woerden, I couldn’t wait to blog about it. Instead, I spent the next morning packing up all my stuff at Sten’s place in Lille, and then driving with my old Nerac teammate Nic Smutny 11 hours from Belgium to his home in the Czech Republic.
We’re in a town called Znojmo, [...]

I shoulda bought it when I had the chance.

I finished on the lead lap at Nacht van Woerden, AND I got 25th place, the last prize money spot. Prize money. I can’t even believe it.
It’s 1:30 here now so I’ll write more tomorrow. But I actually did everything I said I was going to in the race today. I attacked every single section [...]

I just looked at the World Cup standings and remembered that points go 50 places. I got 51st.

So, for the record, I did not get lapped 4 times. I got lapped once, about 40 minutes in, with 4 laps to go. The way the results get done, you have to make it to half way to be [...]

Seriously, I don’t want to talk about it. I had no business in that race today. None.

Scroll down for the “fotospecial.”
Nys crashed on the first barrier and landed face first on the second one. You’d think the day before a World Cup maybe he’d be more careful.
He’s also not even pretty. Just pretty for Belgium.

So today I had two big meetings. The first was the management committee meeting of the AIOC-Cross, and the second was the general meeting of all the AIOC-Cross members. The AIOC-Cross is the Association of International Cyclo-Cross Organizers. It’s a private association that every UCI race organizer around the world is allowed to join for [...]
