Great! winston and Caspar did an awesome job of sorting it all out and driving us there and back. Got in free to see the last 5 or so laps of the Koksijde Cross WC.. fkn mental with its sand dune climbs!
Plume bike shop was closed on arrival but we scored some choccies for the ladies back home and some Belgian beer at a restaurant before the track.
Ghent track was silly steep/short and we saw some good racing. They had Wiggans and Cavendish for the English crowd (quite a few) and even threw in Aussie Luke Roberts for me to yell at.
Definitely different to a 'normal' track meet! Air-horns going off all the time, drums, eurotrash playing.. more like a basketball game! :)
I'm a bit trashed now but might write more when I think about it again. I'll see if any of my pics turned out too..
