"Hey USA, you like Belgium?"













Pulled out of Fleche-Ardennaisse. Was in the winning move 75k in but had some problems with my knee after a crash a little bit earlier. When I first hopped up the adrenaline was pumping and i was ok, but once that wore off i was pedaling with one leg. Bike racing has a lovely way of stomping on the soul sometimes. But, I did get some cool pictures.
I love the roads and hills of the Ardennes. This race took in some of the same climbs as liege-bastogne-liege, and I hope to get a shot at the u23 version of that Monument in the next couple years.
