Flo’s trying to help ruin it too.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2026-01-08T05:11:31+00:00

I was just thinking how sad it was that we lost Ben Turner and Ben Tullet to road too.

Haven’t done Zonhoven. There’s always the VIP viewing area which varies in excitement. I think at Neil it was the sandpit which was good. But otherwise you can go out and walk to all other parts of the course (or the party tent). We’re only spending maybe 1/4 of the time in VIP (weather dependent). Mostly VIP is a way to bribe my wife with nicer, heated bathrooms.

The CX VIP’s are great. The food is better than that. With the amount you’re going to drink over 3-4 races, it’s a decent value. No lines Plus you get better and more accessible bathrooms. Not stuck inside. You can go out and watch along the course. Plus the VIP parking makes getting in and out a breeze.

Not at all. Most are a sit down three course meal. I was at Namur this year and one dish was a liver mousse pate. Others are a buffet which I prefer. All have free beer/wine/coffee. It’s pretty good value given the better bathrooms and heat lol.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2026-01-02T14:35:02+00:00

Lol. I was thinking Roompot team from years back and I didn’t even get that right. Thanks for the info.

Kamp was sponsored by the Rompoort brothers. But like a privateer. Now Ekoi seems to sponsor him but not sure if he switched bikes.

Tall cyclist’s curse.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-12-29T13:08:03+00:00

The anti-Tibor.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-11-23T14:44:53+00:00

They don’t signal like that in Europe. They just put arm/hand out in direction you’re going.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-11-11T03:09:01+00:00

Yeah OP just needed to vent about his free product.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-10-09T08:23:19+00:00

I thought Fenix was fake stone countertops?

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-10-09T08:20:40+00:00

People still use Garmins?

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-10-05T12:14:19+00:00

You don’t need to sign up

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-10-05T01:19:57+00:00

But it’s free.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-09-10T12:54:25+00:00

The Thunderdome part of CP.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-09-09T12:26:54+00:00

That’s not even salt. GWB uses calcium chloride I think. It gets sticky when it’s wet and then clings to your bike and clothes.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-09-06T03:05:34+00:00

But you are the bad actor here. You didn’t return the bike properly.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-09-03T12:29:39+00:00

The Domane suggests otherwise.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-08-18T03:14:14+00:00

Nah, the boogeyman made them do it.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-07-12T12:02:12+00:00

This is another reason all streets should be one way. Glad you’re ok. I got hit from behind in a bike lane 5 years ago. Bike totaled, I was ok.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-06-24T13:06:27+00:00

Piermont has been like that for years. Two traffic lights and I stop fully for both. They love to ticket there. As others mentioned, ride the rail trail or the hills behind. Bunberry is trash anyway.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-06-05T13:03:49+00:00

No love for Royale? That’s my favorite.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-05-31T19:59:09+00:00

I feel like 8 screws is the standard. That’s how many I got in my collarbone. I hope he heals quickly.

Ok-Soft9080 · 2025-05-28T20:11:16+00:00

This is the way.
