Wonderful photo essays of the Belgian classics

[red_flanders]

Hadn't seen this site before today, but this guy has some really nice photo essays of Flanders, Flanders recon, Ghent-Wevegem, E3 and Dwars door Vlaanderen. Nice photos and write up, really gives a better sense of the place and the feel than watching on TV. Well worth a look.

Every time I see the Garmindale training green, I think "Belkin".

Do you miss RR that much?


It's a fantastic site, you are very much correct on that and thank you for pointing out there's more than Flanders on there. I didn't bother to look

Yeah, signed up for an account and imagine I'll use it as a travel blog myself.

Don't get the "RR" comment at all. Can you explain?

I've subscribed to it. If I do start taking photos of rides maybe I'll set up an account, seems a good way to document them and I plan on doing a fair bit around Scotland this year.

The RR comment was a cheeky insinuation you had seen the link on his twitter feed as that's where I saw it after being led there by the Creed discussion in the clinic . You'd only have got it if that was how you actually got there though.

Oh. I actually got to it from my photography section on Flipboard. Article on Sentinel Dome in Yosemite. Browsed around the Exposure site a bit and found the "Ronde Recon" story and then followed the author.

The guy is a really good photographer. He's on Flickr as well.

I'm on twitter but don't follow Race Radio. I really don't read twitter much, it's too many people I don't know that well posting about too many topics. I read INRNG and Peloton and this site. More than I have time for already.

I can't help to notice that it seems that Vanfleteren has inspired more than one or two young artists in Belgium.

Thanks a lot for the link, marvellous pictures. Do you know if you can buy some of them in a decent format?

 

[red_flanders]

Sure! I found his website: http://www.gruberimages.pro/#!/contact from his twitter account: https://twitter.com/jeredgruber

I would try one of those. Good call actually, I might do the same.
