Cyclocross

Our little village is having a very eventful weekend, the last cyclocross race before the World Champinonship is always in Hoogerheide. From the UCI website: "Tradition dictates that the Dutch village Hoogerheide hosts the final round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup for Men Elite, Women Elite, Men Under-23 and Men Junior.. One week before the 2017 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Bieles, Luxembourg, the riders will test their legs one final time in the second Dutch round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup. Last year bad weather turned the course into an extremely hard challenge with local hero Mathieu van der Poel emerging as the big mud-clad star."  Today there was no mud to be seen, the soil is dry and frozen solid ! I don't think tomorrow will be much different. We walked along the parcours, which is very near our new house to watch the cyclocrossers do their trainingrounds. Apparently tomorrow it will be  very busy with spectators.

I haven't been able to go through many AT entries yet, so the results will be out tomorrow. Thanks so much for your kind comments and stars for yesterday's special flower
