Since we’re fast approaching Sunday’s Tour of Flanders, I thought I’d post a short video from Michael Barry (Team Sky). He wore a helmet cam on a pre-ride. He claims, and I can attest to it, that the camera doesn’t do the climbs justice on steepness. This next week is my favorite week of bike racing spectating. The music he used is great. It’s the Shout Out Louds, Shut Your Eyes. Not Snow Patrol, Shut Your Eyes.

From Flanders Fields by Big Head Todd would be a good choice too. Great video
What I learned: no matter how narrow the smooth stuff, pick the smooth over the pavé, way faster! And, was the pavé the uphill? Cameras. They never capture the pitch. Finally, ride in Europe. Have you ever seen such cool roads? Twists, turns, buildings, countryside, blind corners. Very exciting.
