Solvang Camp: DC Team Travel on ThePaceline.com: “Getting from Point A to Point B might sound like an easy proposition,a but what if you have almost 30 Point A’s to begin with? Is it still as easy as A-B-C? Well, if you take the word of Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team logistics specialist Barbara Van Maeldergem it’s literally all in a day’s work. Barbara is an enthusiastic twenty-four year old from Brakel, Belgium, and she organizes the travel to and from the races for the riders and staff all year long. She’s been working for DC since last April and connected up with the team through the service crews who live in her town. She studied Tourism, speaks perfect English (as well as four other languages), and has always had a love of sports.”

Physically and mentally, I’m fully recovered.
