It has been a privilege to ride in Europe. Short ride today, not a lot to report. Early ride tomorrow, so short post. Today I touched three countries with my bike tires, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. It was awesome. Tomorrow, I get to ride Amstel Gold, one of the hardest spring classics, the pro’s are riding 273 kilometers on Sunday, tomorrow I am riding a lot less.
I had Hawaiian Schwarma for lunch at a cafe run by a middle eastern man who spoke halting English, and left Texas due to racism. He lives here (Maastricht) with extended family. He speaks five languages, runs a business, and has very little formal education. I feel very privileged to be here, I have had more than a little good luck to be where I am at.
