Foreigners Eh? Where would be without them? That's what the Nederland peoples were thinking when we rocked up in Valkenburg to watch the Amstel Gold bike race - and for Eve to ride the cyclosportive over the course the day before. That was in,,,,,, flip, 2006! How time flies.
Wonderful place is Valkenburg, lovely peoples and terrific place to watch this lovely bike race [going on as I write]. But they do get a bit over-excited, drinking lovely Amstel beers and standing around talking and things. Sometimes they wave. But mostly they talk and watch. I like the Dutch.
Eve, Carine and Mark [Mr Carine] rode the race - up and down the 30 plus climbs. Had a fine old time too. Now, we follow from a distance looking at the updates on the pooter to see if old pals are in the frame [they are not - so far!].
Oh, well, off to a BBQ to celebrate Mrs Smit's birthday in a moment - if the BBQ hasn't been blown away that is. Happy Birthday Sonja.
