Installed in Belgium

I've been in Belgium for about a week and a half now, staying chez Tim & Joscelin in Tielt-Winge (try that in Mapquest). The accomodations are great, the weather has fabulous, but I've been sick. Bit of a drag, but there is still plenty of time till World's and I am in a great situation for training - plenty of locations and great groups to train with.

Current residents at the house include Dave Coughlin (from Ontario), Helen Wyman (recently crowned UK champ), Barb Howe (US CX team & cyclingnews.com diarist) and Mark Perry (in his first year with a Belgiqn U23 road squad). Hamish Haynes of the cyclingnews.com team should be arriving soon, thereby completing our little piece of English speaking Flanders. If anyone is thinking of coming to this part of the world, you can get in touch with Joscelin (joscelin_at_joscelin.com)and she will hook you up with everything you need to know. We are right in cycling country here, and I really don't want to have to leave.

There is a new diary entry on PezCyclingNews.com, so be sure to check it out when you get a chance.
