Checked out most of the course today. Quite amazing really. Half of the run takes place on the "Petit Train du Nord", a 200 km linear park that used to be a railway line. The other half is on gentle rolling hills through the town.
The major portion of the bike course is on brand new pavement and while there are some hills they don't scare me. There is also an exciting little section (25 kms twice) of crazy ups and downs and sharp curves, that is gonna test my riding skill. But it's the exact type of riding that my bike was built for. We'll find out tomorrow when we'll ride that 25 k.
Today we ran on the old rail bed. I did 20 kms (tired from the drive) and Old John went further than he ever has at 11 kms!!! Of course he rested all the way here in the car...
Over all, a damn fine day!
