Christian Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi everybody! How is cycling going in Scotland? Still the beautifull wether of last automn? Yesterday we had the first race on the track of Hyères. It's always great, I like so much the track! I had only two trainings on the track since I came back from Scotland, but I went well. I drink much less beer than in Scotland , so Soan I'm waiting for you to kick your ass overhere on the track I finished 6th on the first scratch race on 20 laps, I won the elimination race , and I was 5th in the last scratch race. So I finally became third in the overall. It's always a good feeling to win a race, even when it's only a stage. And this morning I went cycling with a club of cyclo's of a friend. It was not riding very hard, but it's always beter than riding alone. And after an hour, we wanted to turn left in Le Lavandou to climb up to Bormes-les-Mimosas. But just on that moment the professional team of Crédit Agricole passed us. So I said to my friends good-bye and I jumped in their wheels. I was so happy, I spoke during all the tour to Damien Nazon, Benoît Salmon, Thor Hushovd, Bradley Wiggins... That was so great! We made a big trip along the sea cost first, and into the lands after. Martin Keir gave me every week when I was in Scotland the Cycling Weekly revue, and Bradley was always mentionned in it. So I told him that he was famous in UK, and we spoke about Scotland. I told him I was sutying there. "Where did you study? In Edimbourg? - No, in Paisley. -Oh, I know that town! -And I also joined a cycling club overthere, the Johnstone Wheelers... -... Hey I know this club, I've already heard of them!" He answered me. So you are very famous guys!!! He told me that he often went to his friend Chris Hoy in Edimbourg. During the climbing of hills I had big difficult to keep my big body in their wheels, so I was hanging at the car of Roger Legeay, the directeur sportif. And after four hours I was totally kapout. So when we arrived in Collobrières, I decided to stop at my gran-parents' place. So I told everybody goodbye after 4hours and 40min and 140km. So that was a great cycling week-end on the French Riviera, with some excellent advertising of the JWCC to one of the best British cyclist Regards from Christian.
