Victoria’s Island is a web site devoted to my daily living. Currently I’m living in Blauberg, Belgium chasing my cyclo-cross racing dreams. Belgium is the epi-center of cyclo-cross racing. So I’m here to race, train, and travel. My daily posts keep readers up-to-date with my discoveries (including trips to nearby towns, the local dairy, new cafes), my cyclo-cross racing and training, and my thoughts on living the life of bike racer.
