This week the World Inline Cup is in the town Team Bont Wheels calls home, Weinfelden. We are based in Weinfelden for the World Inline Cup season and live within skating distance to the course and the bank track.Tonight the T-Track racing gets underway at 7pm with relays held on the bank track. Each team is allowed to enter 3 skaters each for the 3km relay. There are no World Inline Cup points allocated but every team is still determined to win for the prestige. The ladies will have heats and a final and the men 3 rounds, heats, semis and a final. At this stage the Bont Wheels Team will have Alexandra, Cecilia and myself lining up to compete.
Tomorrow the marathon starts at around 5pm about 1km from the team's house. The course has changed slightly from last year with the big up hill being taken out. We will skate 3 laps of the course this year as apposed to 2 last year. The course is a real mixture with rough and smooth road, corners, long straights, slight rises and a fast downhill stretch.
Finally what will the weather do? Last year it looked like it would rain until about an hour before the start. This year it should be a clear day and very warm.
