Ok,
So all of the races you have to go into a crowded, smoke filled cafe with lots of old guys all chatting about bike racing and smoking like its their job. I don't complain one bit though. It is usually these old guys who line the streets and cheer us on. Here is a quick video from a recent race that we entered and when we walked into the cafe we found a band!
I also wanted to add a photo of the roads we typically race on. They are really wide, super smooth and well I'm lying. Barley big enough for a car! Stuff 80 to 100 crazy Belgians on bikes on there and you have a pretty chaotic and exciting sport!
