Thats my weak attempt at some spanglish. But as the title might imply here are some words with their meanings...
kermesse(Kermi): standard race in Belgium, 100-120km in length with laps at 5-16km laps
koffie: Coffee
kilometer: 0.62mi, 1.6km = 1 mile
peloton: large group of riders
tete de course: leader of the race
attack: to lay the hammer down and move ahead of the other shmuks in the race
Working in the race: don't do during the first half of the rest atleast, preferably not all
de laaste rhonde: last lap
grupetto: last group in the race(italian term)
belgian cafe: smokey joint where you sign in for races and get lots of 2nd hand smoke
warming oil: grease the belgians get slapped all over the legs by their daddies or girlfriends leaves the room smelling of all types of stuff
Hope this stuff helps. I will probably add more to the dictionary as the time rolls on...
Tot Ziens (Flemish for goodbye)
