     Title: Jack Anderson Europe season 2010

The first race of the season was the GP Lillers in northen France. It was a freezing cold day with max temperatures at 4 degrees, not to mention the wind chill on top of that, it was freezing cold ! But nether the less spirits were high, even  if I i had big crash while out training the day before ! I went down really , really hard and took some skin off my face and I had skin off everywhere and I was so sore and so stiff I could barely move

Still some how I managed to struggle through the race of 180km and get to the finish a mere 3 minutes behind the peleton ! The race so was cold and so windy it was crazy there was like 200+ riders all trying to ride in the rirst 10 positions in the crosswinds and the road is only so wide ! It was quite an experience !

 

I got in the car and got very warm as soon as I possibly could and had possibly the best cup of Hot chocolate EVER !  anyway It was then about a 6hr trip back to wales so away we went we drove to the Euro Tunnel (where we put the cars on the train and it takes us under the English channel back to the UK.  It was a long drive then from dover in England where the train comes out back over to wales. However it was nice to be home again and i had my own coffee cup with my name on it to welcome me back to Wales. Below is a photo of France , my coffee cup and a link to the race website .
