ok, who am i fooling?

so i dont have much to say about cycling... i managed to ride twice last week, a grand total of just under 4 hrs of cycling... but there definately is something to be said for the training advantages of a completely flat course (i spose that depends on whether ur a climber or not), maybe im just getting unfit, but 2 hrs on the flat really takes it out of your legs... ok so i spose still do have a bit to say about cycling... how was road world champs? maximum respect to paulo bettini for doing his gold helmet justice and dominating, what a machine! but actually i was going to write about what has been distracting me recently... if ur wandering what im studying, well i had to read an article for our class today about the different space station designs that NASA has come up with and how they have been shaped by the political system of the time (as well obviously as the technology available, but in a way the technological advancement was paid for by the government so really, its all political... hmm interesting!) oh what colour should i have my red bike repainted (im considering getting disc brake tabs welded on...)?

(junk)food for thoughts

just to prove to you that the netherlands is not just about cheese and baked goods (i mean seriously good high fat baked goods, which as market forces would dictate it seems now all have lower fat equivalents, c'mon guys margarine causes high cholesterol, wait, or is it the other way round..?) here is a party photo (from left to right, its floris, me, wietse, cynt, marijn and jof)... and a photo of some baked goods the south africans amongst us may be familiar with (dont we have like international rights to marie biscuits or something?) this big pack only cost 60 euro cents! oh, and this is the masters course im doing: www.studeren.uva.nl/msc_science_and_technology_studies/
