Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, here I come!



Please click on the banner above and sign in! Let Levi Ride!


Race watch schedule of 2008 update. A lot of Germany races fell due
to lack of sponsors.

The first race I will watch is Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne in Belgium
on Sunday, Marth 2nd. The organizer hurriedly updated the
participants list. "Hurriedly" because they misspelled a lot of names
and were wrong about their nationalities. Who is "Arvesen Kurt-Atle"
from "(DEN)" Denmark? Who is "Lungqvist Marcus" from "(NOR)" Norway?
Take a look at the official site!


I am happy because:
I can see Team CSC riders and staff.
I can see other riders, staff and people.


I am not sure if:
I can get Team CSC jersey and other items by Saturday from here.
I can get "HARDEN THE F*@K UP" wrist bands by Saturday from here.
the weather will be fine. The forecast says it will be a rainy day.



My schedule now looks like this.

2nd Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne (BEL)
24th Rund um Köln (GER)
30th Critérium International (FRA)

Let Levi Ride!



Let Levi Ride! I knew about this when I read an article at cyclingnews.com.

I support Levi. He does not ride for Team CSC but I met his family at
Tour de France 2007. They are nice people. I wrote about our
chance meeting somewhere in this blog.

Anyway, what matters is that I support this movement.

Here are some banners that you can download from letLeviRide.com.



I am planning of (only planning because I don't know exactly how
much those T-Shirt, Hat and Sticker cost including the shipping charges)
getting those items from this site and wearing at race events,
like Critérium International, Paris-Roubaix, Liège-Bastogne-Liège
since they are held by A.S.O.

If possible (if I had the time to do so), I will paint letLeviRide.com
on the road somewhere along the parcours to let people know about the
movement.
