Moar pics?
Here's a brief one. One of the scariest things I've ever done;
My first time driving in almost 4 weeks. My first time driving in Belgium, which happens to be my first time driving a wrong-hand drive car, in a country that drives on the right side, the car is a 5-speed, which requires use of my almost useless left arm, which happens to be a freaking Smart car, with two gabbing British girls yapping away next to me, on the freeway. The car barely had enough torque to twist a cap off of a Coke bottle, and we were all crammed into this useless little automobile the size of a shower, except less sexy.

That pizza ruins everything good I know about you Mitch.
Also, if you are gonna write about chicks then pictures are a must or it didn't happen.

They're not the worst pics you have. Well. The bottom one might be worst. The one above is pretty awesome. Haven't seen that many girls on bikes together in a long time.

My roomie and I are planning an LSD day tomorrow. Should be ~160km out to Antwerp. Why Antwerp?
The coffee in Oudenaarde simply isn't expensive enough.

I love pineapple and jalapenos on a pizza. I think the sweet/spicy works very well together.
Oh, and I also think this thread is fantastic.

It snowed in the mountain fo Belgium today. I was climbing a 2-3 mile long climb in Geraardsbergen after hitting the Kapel Muur and saw who I believe to be Fabian Cancellara.
This rider was on a Specialized S-Works, and wore all black, matching Assos winter kit, Oakley Radars, and gigantic legs.
This is the first potential pro sighting I've been really excited for.
Yesterday I was a soigneur for the day at a womens pro kermesse for my roommate. I saw Liz Hatch again, and I was going to get a video of her for a certain BF member, but the staging was chaos, and my roommate didn't break the ice for me. Emma Johannsen won... Again.

Listen you muppets, I've got a blog post coming tomorrow about our ride today to Starbucks. Prepare for it. If you're a friend of mine on Facebook, you already know the gist of what's coming, but have no clue of the filler.
I'm going to continue double-fiting these brews and crash for the night. I've haven't eaten this much since that time we went twozies on an ounce of "Dumpster" weed and holed up with a 4ft glass bong at my buddys house.

I've got a sore throat, and it's raining.
What's that mean? I'm racing today.
Report following.
In unrelated news, I've always fancied a coffin made out of Walnut.

Pizza with pineapple and Starbucks, if it wasn't for the Duval I'd be wondering where you were.
If you don't like rain don't go to Europe!
I want to see some Belgian toothpaste in the drivetrain photos.

The best pizza I ever had? Artichoke and meatball from a local Cleveland-area award-winning pizzeria.
I feel like I came to this thread to say something else....
