Derny Criterium!

// September 24th, 2009 // A Day Down Under

Not too much of an interesting post really, but a couple of interesting photos! The internet has been a bit of a no-go for me recently, hence the lack of posts. The wireless thingy on my computer stopped working, so when I wanted to use the internet, I had to wait till the other guys in the house weren’t online, and then plug my computer into the modem. I now have a wireless thingy to plug into my computer, but then I got some virus aswell, but that is all sorted now…

Anyway…

Check this bike out, it belongs to someone on a Belgian team who we race against. I don’t know anything more about him, but he has quite some paint-job on his bike!

My team mate Logan Hutchings and I did a Derny Criterium in Nantes, France a couple of weeks back. It was a fantastic experience, one of the best experiences I have had since I started cycling. Racing around the circuit, each of us behind our own Derny, I was just covered in goosebumps! It was just awesome. I had such a great time, and will jump at the opportunity to do one again anytime!
Nico made sure Logan and I got onto one of the derny bikes for a photo:

Always keen to steal the show, Nico Mattan was up to his trade-mark trick, riding backwards on my bike! After he finished the Tour de France each time he did it, he apparently would ride a lap of the Champs Elysees just like this, in his team uniform!

Outside the USA, Ireland is the largest software producing country in the world.
