This has been one of those days that I'm sure every bike rider has lived and or survived at some point in their lives. Had a high fever on Friday so took the day off, and my doctor put me under a horses dose of clamoxyl, an antibiotic which has had me glued to my bed every morning, although it could be jetlag as well.

Moscow Track World Cup

Got in to Moscow late Thursday. It was strange landing because I was expecting to see some pretty desolate landscape and to my surprise there were pine trees everywhere! Seemed like we were landing in the northwest of the US. We recovered our umpteen, bikes, bags, wheels, etc. and headed on out to the track. 333 meters, seemed huge after the 250 meters I had seen last in Berlin last October. I was looking forward to checking it out, as well as my new pursuit bike, made by Look, a bit smaller than last year and a tad lighter as well.

La Primavera Rosa Report
Submitted by janette on Sat, 03/18/2000 - 02:00March 18
A large field of 138 riders lined up for the second round of the women's World Cup, La Primavera Rosa in Varazze, Italy. Most of the European teams were there, and for many it was their first serious race of the year.
There was bad luck for Lucie Ruscakova (Cze) and Bridget Evans (Aus, Master Team Carpe Diem) who crashed after only two kilometres, forcing them to retire. The first hour of the race is quite fast, at 39.4 km/h, with the Dutch doing the driving, with no-one allowed to escape.

Marion Clignet: 3000m pursuit 1999 World's, Berlin
I went from a silver medal in the 1996 Olympics to a world title plus world record in the 3km pursuit. But from there it was downhill with a blood test showing that I carry a gene called HLA-B27, making one suseptible to inflammatory arthritis.
