Moscow

We have finally made it to Moscow. It took a whole day of traveling, with a 4.30am wake up to catch the train from Aigle to Geneva, then a just over 3 hour plane ride and then what was meant to be a 1hour max drive which turned into over 3hours to make it to our accommodation.

Once we had found our rooms and made ourselves at home then we headed to the track for dinner. We were all straving because we had not eaten since we left Geneva so we were all very keen to see what the had install for us. Dinner consisted of a various choice of unidentifiable meats and some pasta which was not to many peoples liking so it was back to the hotel on empty stomachs.

The next morning it was back to the track again to have another mystery meal for breakfast. Then Georgia, Cassie, Sophie and I went for a bike ride around this bike path which is about 1km from where we are staying. It is a pretty cool place because it is slightly up on top of a hill so it gave us a different view of the city and just how massive it is. We also later found out that it is where the Olympic road race was held in 1980.

Later on we went to the track for the first of our first session, it was a massive change to go from a tiny 200m track to go to the long 333m Moscow track. It is a cool track and will be amazing to race on.

Just one of the massive corners on the track.

The team is coming along very well and all accordingly to plan, so it is looking like we are in for some very good racing next week.
