Euro Cross Camp IX - Update #2, Antonneau

BELGIUM: Lichtervelde EuroCrossCamp - Living the dream life, Waukesha's Lionel Rocheleau is racing his bike in Belgium, writing for Cycling News, and has his own page on Sport.Be! "Being at Euro Cross Camp has been both a cultural and a racing experience. Even though I'm not home for Christmas this year, and I broke two bikes on Christmas day, the whole trip is a present itself. After all, the experience is the greatest gift I can get."

Danny Gerow of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan also writes for Cycling news: "My time in Belgium has been incredible. It has been an amazing adventure of culture, making new friends, and bike racing.
     The racing over here has inspired me to closely study and learn the details of greatness in cycling. The courses and conditions in Europe are demanding physically, mentally, and on equipment. This challenge is a part of what makes racing here very rewarding. In an odd way, part of the fun of the races here is that they push you to your limits. To add to the hard courses, you have lots of passionate fans cheering you on. For example, I was hearing "Allez, allez!" as we were running the muddy run-ups at the World Cup in Namur. The cheers help as you continue to battle in the races, but the smoke from the cigars and cigarettes of the fans hurts a little, especially when you are going really hard."

Jordan Cullen of Hudson, WI is making news here at home while racing in Europe with a great article in his home town's newspaper -The Hudson Star Observer.He is posting some of his experiences over on his own blog as well.

The Camp continues through this weekend with races on Friday and on Saturday.
