Getting to the Motherland
Team Bailey is off on its European foray to race the Masters World 'cross champs. It's been a long seaon and we're borderline toast as it is, since we started racing back in the middle of September racing every weekend until Xmas. After the holiday, we then started training hard again, got one more race under our belts, and now we're finally on our way to Mol. The season has been extraordinarily long, but it will be worth it as we officially end the season on January 23; then it's all frites and beer across Europe until we get to Tabor to watch the big boys the following weekend.
The Family Clinkspoor residence: European Headquarters for Bailey Bikes, Schellebella/Wetteren, Belgium.
We'll try to keep the blog updated a bit as visit Belgium's great cycling monuments, some Great War monuments, and the greatest beer monuments. Our first stop is Brussels and our host family's home in Wetteren, just east of Ghent. Time to start resisting the temptations.
Not resisting temptations with our gracious hosts, the Clinkspoors.
What fun - The sand of Mole will get packed harder on race day, so don"t burn yourselves out the days before the race trying to figure out the soft sand. I think the right side line up gives a wider, faster turn into the first and softest sand of the race -a good way to start - Go Go Go. Lee
