I did not know that it was possible for the sun to be out
for a full 24 hour day but we have been blessed with some sunshine this past
week and I am loving it! With the nice
weather we had some adventures out on the bike the past few days spotting sport
stars and movie stars along the way.
Today Cherise and I stopped for a coffee in Geraadsbergen
after a couple of intervals up the Muur (famous crazy steep cobble climb). Just as we sat down we saw Robbie McEwen sitting
a table away from us. He had a similar
idea of stopping for a coffee/lunch break to enjoy the sunshine. Having seen him in action at the Post Tour Criterium
in Ninove just a few days ago I actually recognized someone famous for
once. After debating the entire time
while sitting there whether or not to ask him for a picture he made it easy for
us by walking over for a quick chat. He
recognized the Team MTN Qhubeka kit as being from South Africa and kindly asked
about our stay here in Beglium. What a
nice guy!
Our second encounter with the famous was also while out
riding. Lying in the grass right next to
the road I spotted Bambi or what must have been some very close relatives of the
famous animation character. These along
with the South African Nyala are the prettiest antelope/deer I have ever seen.
More adventures to follow soon…
