That map is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Gives a good perspective on how small Belgium is too.

10 minutes until E3 coverage starts!

When I rode Arenberg Forest I was completely alone (August in northern France; everyone's on holiday in the south). I was worried I'd crash, break my hip and die of exposure.
I know the feeling and luckily I was with someone to help tend to a fractured clavicle—knew those Rapha musettes were good for something...

Stayed to watch winning move on Carrefour de l’arbre...
