I was first back in Oudenaarde on my red Sannino....

Ops, it wasn't a race...


Lovely event, really enjoyed it... Maybe more cobbles for next year?

Did my first RetroRonde yesterday. What a fantastic event! Such a great atmosphere, with friendly people, beautiful bikes and countryside and amazing resupply points (they could have called it the all-you-can-eat-Ronde). Was only planning to do the leisurely 40 km route but decided to take the more daunting 70 km at the 35 km split point.

My god, did they ramp the difficulty up. Fillings shaking out of my teeth on the pave, together with the chain off my derailer. Had to take a few steep points on foot, but altogether a fantastic yet somewhat humbling experience. I'll be sure to go again next year.
