One of the pleasant perks that comes with hosting a ride as part of the Continental Calling is the jersey that arrived in the mail a few days ago. Rapha has a Country Jersey line honoring Belgium, France, Italy and Holland and, as if in conjunction with my recent travels, I'll be honoring the country that I fell in love with for some time to come.
Now if I could only get someone to scream at me in Dutch
At another point, Mrs. Snob and I discussed trimming my mop of hair into a "Lars Boom," referencing the hair style of last year's cyclocross world champion. The considerations were serious and ridiculous at the same time until Susan came across the pre-growth monster that hid dormant under Boom's helmet before sprouting out of the back and moving from acceptable to heavily euro-styled.
After that, it was never spoken of again.
"No honey, that's just a mullet."
Speaking of jerseys, War Axe will be ordering more kits soon. Details over at the War Axe site or email info@waraxebicycles.com.

you taking the single out with the rapha boys?
No, though it crossed my mind. I think that would run a bit counter to their intent and I've got 200 miles of gravel to race to days later and that will certainly be on the single so I am going to spin and save the legs (at least as much as possible).
