Tristan Shouten blogs at us with life on the road: "Well, cleaning bikes till 9pm in the hotel, driving around till 10pm doing laundry, eating a burrito, pizza and a blizzard from DQ while I contemplated quitting racing SAturday after the race somehow must have gotten me back in the groove because Sunday morning I woke up and stepped on the floor and knew I had good legs."

Mathew Busche blogs about his last two races of the season in Europe - Paris Bourges on Thursday and Paris Tours on Sunday. "The conditions for Paris Bourges couldn't have been much more dangerous. It was lightly misting/drizzling for the start, so the oil/dirt on the roads was at its peak. We started full gas, and I was incredibly nervous because the roads looked like ice. The asphalt was worn away to the point that it was mostly just the tar remaining. It shimmered in the wetness and passed at an uncomfortable 50+kmh. ... I was in the front of the field, and we were spread shoulder to shoulder on the road. It was nothing short of a miracle that I didn't go down because the guys on all sides of me went down; literally the guys I was shoulder to shoulder with hit the deck, and I kept my cool, didn't slam the brakes and made it through. I was thanking my lucky stars at that point."
