Recently, I visited Jan - owner of fietsen goeman (bike shop in Everberg, 10km away from me) during his town's yearly rommelmarkt (their version of flea market) where the crappiest of crap

Jan's booth items were, by far, the highest quality. He sold only top brand bike stuff - most new.
Even though i went home with the same amount of euros, I did leave with lots of great memories, a nice buzz from a glass of

Of all the spectacles, the most entertaining had to be the pole dancer that performed in front of the local bar in the middle of the event! I especially enjoyed watching this pole dancer try to teach the locals how to make some moves on the pole! A few people tried to get

That poledancer would have had an easier job today. The wind was blowing so hard that from time to time when passing around corners I nearly blew half a metre to the side. Not a lot of fun when there is a car just about to pass. Still, glad to be back on a bike again after a lot of allergic stuff.
You left out the obvious side-note that one of the more obscure aspects of your own supplementary training for cyclo-cross is hanging sideways from (if not quite dancing with) a pole. I believe I even have a photo on my phone of you performing this gravity-defying trick. If only I could figure out how to send it to your blog!

This I gotta see. So by hanging sideways you mean the pole is upright like a lamp post and your body goes straight out to one side, horizontally? Hey lets see this picture and the picture better not cut off your feet. I say there must be mirrors involved. But even if you could, which you CAN'T, what's it got to do with cross? But you have a very fun blog Christine!!!

OK, ivymum! if two more people request proof that i can do it, i will motivate to actually get some passerby to take a photo of me next time i see a pole on one of my rides. I guess it would be somewhat entertaining to show my nieces when they ask what auntie peanut did with her time if she didn't have kids or sit at a 9_5 desk!
