Good thing I speak Flemish
out on the Coffee shop ride to keep our legs working in between race, when I go off a curb and pop, one of my rear spokes break. The only thing is we are riding race wheels, because we did not bring any training wheels. So Deep Dish Dura-Ace Wheel built up on a PowerTap hub that is now non-rideable. It is not everyday that you see some guy pulling some improv wheel truing on a Carbon wheel? Ya it was not pretty lets just say. Needless to say nothing helped to improve the wheels trueness, so I had to wait for 2hr at some coffee shop in Belgium. Luckily I spoke Flemish! Well luckily the girl behind the counter spoke English, so I was able to get my coffee fix much easier. At one point I thought people were going to start dropping coins in my helmet as I sat on the side walk in front of the shop. Oh it was sweet, let me tell you.

Make sure you say “hello” to Mark Allen (chiro) in Oostezelle, outside of Gent. He rode behind the motors for GP des Nations for US like a Brad Huff wanna-bee. He’s really good friends with LaPage.

Brad, That happened to me once in Bradleyville, MO. I had to sit in front of Billy Jack’s store for two hours while Hillbillies threw beer cans and used shotgun shells at me. Luckily I can speak Hillbilly and I got them to stop by discussing wild hog hunting with them. A couple of months later I heard that Billy Jack was arrested on charges of selling the ingredients for meth. He always told me he had a lot of cash on hand, but I never thought anything of it. Have fun. Norton
