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!!
thanks for that ed!....you "do" know how i'm feeling then!......I'm gunna try & ignore them all & just do my own thing till the start......the most exciting & terrifying thing about riding with pro's, (done a few before but nothing this big!), is that you know all the blokes in the Div.1 team uniforms...actually earned them, rather than the normal training bunch wannabes!
