CX + "Belgian Hills"

by Austrian_Jez on Dec 5, 2011 10:59 AM EST

My CX race on Saturday included a so-called "Belgian Hill" ...

I wondered WTF is that ? then we saw this in the course, complete with Flemish flag!

Some could manage it:

Others not, ahem …

When I see pictures of Stybie + Co jumping over these ramps in future, I'll have even more respect for them!

that'll be me in the "Belgian" shirt .... !-(

riding through the woods was fun though

it wasn’t dry ! it started raining shortly before the start, so the grass, belgian ramp were nice and slippy … :-(

I had some “issues” with that darn ramp, twice fail, then managed it – GREAT feeling ! Next lap way too fast, so took off ob top – hence my “bailout” picture :-P

@Editor: I should click on “image” and add URL, right ?

Yes but not the url of the page

but the direct url of the image. Actually, Flickr has a sharing button with HTML option, paste that text right here in the comment box. (Don’t use the “link” option, that is a link to the whole page again.

Typically, anything you use in the image button popup dialog must start with “http://” and end in “.jpg”.
