Maybe i left out the other part of that statement? head winds. rain + head winds = good hard-man training, which would lead me to believe that the act of riding in said conditions is very belgian. If it is not belgian, it is most definitely very Portlandish, which is known to the American cycling community as THE Belgium on the Willamette. Whether or not there is a lot of truth to this statement is hard for me to entirely confirm as the only time i was in Belgium, it was sunny, and I was in Wallonia. But the plethora of Micro-brews here, the absolutely rabid cross-scene and rolling terrain and general cycling-crazed culture helps the comparison.
