WHY I RUN

I’m a cyclist, i love my bike. I love spending hours riding around, pondering my thoughts, enjoying the roads, and getting angry at car drivers. I love cycling. But i’ve always been a runner. Cycling will never give me the feeling that running gives me. Just completely emptying my head. No thoughts, just quiet. Just hearing my breath, my feet hitting the ground and the pace (the run has to go to…

SO..

For me, comfort on the bike = anything. That’s why i do my stretches to be comfortable in an aero position, that’s why i needed about 4 new saddles to find the one that works and so on..

SO when my trusty old comfortable Shimano shoes started to show their years, it was time for something new.

I really like the Bont concept, i can adapt the shoe to my feet and most parts of the shoe are replaceable.

Here they are, my new bonts (expect a comprehensive review soon), just took them for a ride on my trainer and they already felt pretty incredible, stiff, but good.

cheers, Ayse

As a lover of cycling, i enjoy doing the riding as much as watching it on the telly. One of my favorite races to watch at the start of the season is the Amstel Gold Race.

With the famous Cauberg (see the height% below) and the Amstel Gold Experience center (that serves some good pasta) both located in Valkenburg, that’s where we decided to start our trip.

Just like most trips of 20something-year olds, we got there without any plans, we wanted to ride the roads of the pro’s but didn’t plan anything in advance, so the planning happened in the hotelroom.

When we planned what to do the next day, we went for a reckon ride, and there is no such thing as a reckon ride without Espresso.

So the next day, we went our way. The route was hard, it rained the entire time, with winds up to 35km/h. But that didn’t hold us from having a great time, enjoying the views and mostly admiring the smoothness of the Dutch cycling paths (we Belgians really envy those).

(the route)

this is the height% of the famous Cauberg:

It was most certainly worth the 4 hours of riding in the rain and wind,

Until next time Dutchies, until next time.
