A wrap

Sunday, 12 August 2007

Phew!  It's over for another year.  The fun, the excitement, the exhaustion and the nerves.  This is one tough week.  Five races in six days, every time trying to be up mentally and physically.  How long will it take before we're itching to get on our bike again?

Thanks to all who logged in and those who posted messages in the guest book.  It's really great to hear from home.  A special thanks to Anthony Darr who set up and managed the blog site.

The hotel is quite empty now.  We'll be heading for Prague in half an hour or so.  I almost feel like a lost soul after the bustle and excitement of the past week.  Even the (38!) dogs here seem more subdued.

Overall it was a good WOC for the team.  Four top 20 places and some great rides by the newcomers in what was a vastly different level of competition to that they'd encountered before.  I am very impressed.

Now we hand over to the foot WOC team to keep you entertained for the rest of the month.  We all wish them luck and as much success as we had.
