As an occasional amusement, I run stuff through the free altavista translator...the text at Retro Ronde came up as follows:
ßt RetroRonde of Flanders Sunday 08/07/07 - Oudenaarde become the ravissantste RetroRonde renner and win 300 euro! Comes that to see! The round from your youth is! Wools pullovers of then, vélos with vitessen on the framework, sausage helmets, substance optical devices, tubes around the lijf... A bont group picked from our youth. And glowing oldtimers and volgbrommers where Karel Van Wijnendaele lyrically became of. Takes part! Also you can provide extra brilliance to this historical bicycle excursion. Because possibly have you, friends or family still somewhere retrotrui and trousers lie. And did you have uncle not still are steel koersros stand? New links and hops... Drum own ploegje or supporters on to the heart of the Vlaamsche ardennen! Or bowl with own volgauto or brommer... The RetroRonde of Flanders are there also for held(inn)en of younger age. ********* personally, I'm ready to bid on those sausage helmets and substance optical devices... these robo-translators are always a hoot. I'd love to hear more about this event, and have an event-report from someone who attends...anyone here in the Netherlands? If you go, tell us what it was like..
