Today was what seemed a long day a work. We were quite productive but the areas were quite dirty. It seemed like a long day and there was one section that Craig and I pushed through to get done and did to say that it was done! Came home and showered it was dirty work today.
We then set off for a ride to the sports store so Robert could get his bike fixed, but along the way he got a flat... I was wondering whether we would get a ride in. Then off to Roubaix again, but this time through town in rush hour traffic. This is a BIG differance between France and North America, it's rush hour and people stop and allow bikes to turn left or have a right of way... we'd been dead in any city in N.A. on those traffic circles! Not here...
Robert wanted a local club kit sooo... bad. He was zooming straight to the club house. But I wanted to ride the Paris to Roubaix route into the velodrome on the cobbles down the main street so I took the "proper" way into the velodrome, but did not go in because the track team were motor pacing and when track bikes are on the track road bikes are a BIG no no in any country.
I followed him upstairs and I purchased a pair of socks and was given a water bottle, another pair of sox and a cap. Pretty darn good deal. The sox have a pattern of the Pavé on them, as does the water bottle. Robert's club kit is ORANGE! he won't be missed... and yes he's seen the velodrome in Roubaix and Yes he's ridden around it and Yes he's been to the local club across the street.
Coming home we came back pretty much the way we did last time but this time we took a short cut which ended up going across a cobbled section of road and I powered off the front just like Fabian and left Craig and Robert riding way behind me! Take every advantage you can! Ha-Ha
