The Leechburg ride, admittedly a good one even for Pittsburgh standards. It's hard to look at a graph like this from a flat place like Holland. My only choice is to become really good in fast, flat crits, so that the next time I ride with/race against privileged folks from places like Pittsburgh I'll be able to give them the kind of treatment Dutch racers have become known for in the States (remember Freddy Troost? Pelle Kil? Harm Jansen?). I know I'm really a climber, and I'm getting very old too, but my new cycling life starts Saturday, when I'll check out the weekly training ride of de Eendracht (Loenen)--the club "my" cardiologist also belongs to. Stay tuned.

Just an average Sunday ride in Pittsburgh
