Zonnebeke was my very first race in Belgium, so I really wanted to go back. It's about an hour away (since we were in Ieper the first year, we did mostly West Flanders races). It only has like 4 corners, but it has slight hills. Problem with that is that these guys go really f-ing hard on the slightest uphill or downhill. It was sprinkling a bit, so I wasn't seriously motivated and my legs felt like crap anyway. I started at the back of the 106 rider field figuring I was going to drop fairly quickly.
Funny enough, I wasn't the first to get dropped after 1.5 laps. My average speed after getting dropped was 31.3 mph. Damn. And the first couple miles were easy.
Right after I drop and go to the car, it starts raining pretty hard. Good timing I think! Anyway, I've got video, so I'll post that shortly.

30 finishers, average speed 27.2, I wonder if my bike computer is off.
