Race day!

Today is the day.

Got up early. Didn’t sleep too well. Very exited. Spent the morning packing, unpacking and repacking. Still bringing too much.

Considering to leave the down jacket and some other things behind.

The two most important things to get me safely through the race. My new Corsa helmet.

and my lucky charm-rings made for me by my niece Britta.

The kit is ready.

Checked out of the hotel, went to the velodrome in Roubaix. Had to walk the last 3 km.

Got registered, got the gps tracker and bike checked. My rear reflectors were not right, so I need to get an additional on the way.

A fellow Swiss rider had an AirBnb close to the Velodrome and offered to bring my excess stuff back to CH and let med relax the afternoon.

the riders briefing is at 17.30.
Race start at 20.00. Nothing much to do until then.
