• Triptique Barrages 2.2

  September 9-10 This was a pretty hard race. 2 days, 3 stages with the second day having a 16k TT in the morning and a 100k stage in the afternoon. The first day went fine. I did lots of work with Mike Wolf to bring a break back that we lazily missed. After that I got in the break just to get popped out of it on the climb in the finishing circuits. I actually went all the way through the two Read Full Post Here Read Full Post Here Technorati Tags: Cycling Posted Sep 23 2006, 12:04 PM by jpmurphy with no comments

• Oudenburg Belgium 1.12

  Oudenburg, Belgium 1.12 23°C The race was 13 laps of a 12k circuit.  It was pretty much a glorified Kermesse.  After 50k there was a break of 13 up the road.  I was treating today as more of a training race, so I wasn't worried about being up there.  I was though going to make sure if another group went a… Read Full Post Here Technorati Tags: Cycling Posted Sep 07 2006, 08:38 AM by jpmurphy with no comments
