(Max Walker voice) "Yyyyyeeeeeeesss......been there before."
My Dutch club entered me in the amateur version (actually elites zonder contracteren) of the semi-classic Veenendaal-Veenendaal when I was there.....fark me was I nervous! TV, full-on teams with cars and rows of identical bikes lined up, blokes at about 5% bf wandering around tanned and oiled up to the bejeezus....I reckon I used up more energy getting ready than in the first 50km!!
