Jubilation to Disaster.
An early
wake up call for the trip to Brugge (45 minute drive)
for the start of the Ronde van Vlaandeen. From the parking
garage the stream of people was huge. Similar to
Kenmore
square on Red Sox
opening day. This was huge, a rainy day and 50,000 to 60,000 fans lined the barricaded
street leading from the team bus area to the start in the
Markt Square
.
9:40 rides off!
After a brief tour of Brugge I drove to
Kortrijk
to view the race
again. Disaster struck not the riders
but me. The rent-a-car stopped. 8 stressful hours later I made it back to the
hotel with a new car.
Seeing the Pros climb the Muur will have to wait until next year.
