Atlantikwall
The coastal defenses you passed by were probably the Atlantikwall museum in Ostend (Raverszijde). It's one of the best preserved parts of Hitler's Atlantic wall.

TV
I saw in some of the pictures TV cameras. Is that for the jumbo tron at the race viewing areas, or are they for broadcast TV? Just wondering if they are for broadcast for networks to buy their feed and do commentary over it. I think that was what they were doing last time I watched a race with Pop. Also any sighting of your salted fish skins? We're loving the blog.

Cameras
They televise all of these races over here ...it's crazy. I can also report that the fish skins seem to be available everywhere ... We aren't buying them and haven't seen anyone eating them yet. Crazy

Very envious
Great to get your blog and photos, and know that we are connected vicariously thru you to the Classics! Bill and I have yet to make it to Brugge, but it is high on our list. We were headed there one day in 2009, but stopped in Roubaix and ran into a friend, a journalist, that was doing a video story on the velodrome, and Bill ended up doing a couple of laps, and we didn't make it to Brugge. If you are still thinking about riding around Lille, Roubaix, Tournai, we have to recommend that you stop into to Tournai, as it will be much less urban survival than the other two. We liked the Hotel d'Alcantara, a little off the main square, easy walking to good restaurants, although the hotel served us some very nice and simple meals. We're doing RAGBRAI this year, after all this time. We'll be in touch with Mary Sue with details. One last thing, we know you're having a great time without our advice, but, if you have time, we recommend going to see the great Belgian Sprinter, Freddy Maertens, who runs the Museum - Ronde van Vlaanderen, (Tour of Flanders), in Oudinarde. He was there in 2009, and I hope he is still active. He was a green jersey winner TDF twice. It's about a 30 minute drive from Tournai. you can ride a "cobble simulator". Have a great time and we look forward to your well described travel descriptions. We would love to get your recommendations on visiting Brugge. Warm regards, Diane George

They are everywhere. The locals are dreading the Olympics. We tell them it will be fine ... Atlanta did fine and so will they
