Rund um Köln cancelled

_sk_goat_tiny by ELVISGOAT on

CN is reporting that the 100th Rund has been canceled due to snow.  It's usually a bit of a revenge run for the sprinters who didn't win at MSR.  This year Ale Jet and last years winner JJ were not racing, so perhaps Ete missed a chance at one last win.

JJ Haedo, last year's champion
at the Rund um Koln, was not scheduled to defend.  He is riding in Castilla y Leon (have I got that right? -- let's just say he's in Spain) instead.

Any idea why?  Isn't it a bit unusual?

Not a classics guy
A full week in Spain will do him more good, I'd guess, then a few random races in Belgium and Germany. Also, if you had to pick, where would you be racing in March, Cologne or Madrid?

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
