I have crashed again, on Friday in a 1.6 UCI race Antwerp Tielen. It was a silly crash; a few riders got their bikes stuck together and fell over. It was the kind of crash I have gone around many times. I tapped my breaks and swerved around the fallen riders, unfortunately one of the bikes flew up and hit me in the side knocking me over. I landed on my right side where I had broken my collarbone. Luckily I landed safely and only received some scrapes and bruises but I didn’t feel like chasing down the 60-km/hr pack so my race was over.
I have been having a tough time sleeping during the heat wave here. I have to wait until late at night when it has cooled off and I am not sweating so much to fall asleep. It is not so bad to fall asleep at that time because I get to fall asleep to the sweet smell of baking bread thanks to the two bakeries on my street.
