Heather Bikes

Thanks to Squid and Continental, I’m in Warsaw to compete in the 19th annual Cycle Messenger World Championships (CMWCs)

I flew into Warsaw this afternoon, put my bike together in the airport, and rode into the center of the city. It felt really good to ride out of the airport on my own power after having been in that plane for the last 9 hours.

Warsaw is awesome.  On the ride from the airport, no one beeped at me.  I don’t think I’ve heard a car beep at all yet.  The city seems very laid back but vibrant at the same time, with a bunch of people out on the street walking around and eating outside.

The qualifying race is this Saturday and the main race is Sunday. I’m expecting it to be between 3-5 hours each day.
