Swedish Balls

So yea it's been another quiet week for me. Been battling with a bung knee all week and couldn't ride too much. Normally, after about 30 mins of riding I would slowly start getting pain in my left knee. So on Saturday I went off to the physio/osteopath and he's seem to of straightened me up. He clicked my back and straightened up my pelvis and put some real hot stuff on my sore knee and it's already feeling better. Refitted my bike also cause I think that's what started the problem.
Managed to do a 50min ride this morning and then a 2hr 15min ride this afternoon with no real trouble so I think all is good. I was asked to do a criterium on Monday evening, (a crit is basically a shorter version of a kermesse) I wasn't sure if I was gonna do it because of my knee but I think I might give it a crack now because every lap you can win 6 bottles of champagne and then the next lap you can win money if you're first across the line so there's a lot of money and champagne up for grabs. Never done a crit over here as well and knee is feeling better.
Saturday was a pretty busy day, first rode out to the physio, then went to Kortrijk and got my hair cut (you're welcome mum) and then Andrew took us up to Ghent to go to the IKEA store. We told him that we had never been to IKEA cause there's none in NZ and he couldn't believe it. The place is massive! You could basically live in there for your whole life. Everything you need to build the inside of a house is in there. The place was packed as well, so many people! And to finish off the trip, we had afternoon tea at IKEA. Andrew bought us some frits with some weird Swedish sausage balls, tasted pretty good though. Someone should bring IKEA to NZ cause they would make a heap of money. Maybe I should do it.
But other than that it's been a boring as week. Not being able to race or train was doing my head cause time was going so slow and I wasn't making any money from the Kermesses. Really hope my knee is 100% now so I can start racing and training again and also do this tour in France on Friday. Might win me another iPad. Oh yea Zeno bought my iPad off me so that paid for most of my rent, bloody good stuff that is.
Ahhh yea. Can't really think of anything else to write about. Not a lot has happened. The cafe that does flat whites is opening again on Wednesday after about 3 weeks of being closed so we're going there as soon as old mate unlocks the door.
So yea, that's me for another week.
