I am finally back from a 3 1/2 week training period in Girona. It was the most dreamy trip - aside from the tiny detail of being robbed. One week into our holiday, while traveling between campings, we stopped off in the little town of Angles (just west...more

Cheers from Belgium!

As of today, the sun returned to Belgium. Jonas, Ronny and I decided to follow newly painted "figure 8" markings on the ground (one of a million bike-route markings on the streets of Belgium) so we didn't have to think about where to ride. Our plan went b...more
