At first I was not very keen on riding also. 

I invited my brother to come with and we stayed the previous night at a friend of mine’s house, washing bike’s at 10 o’clock at night. We woke up at 4 o’clock in the morning to be at the meeting point at 5. 

We rode convoy all the way to Alzu, and now everything started. We were gathering at the start line and everything happened so fast. Before I knew it we were on our way. We made a group on the fly of a few of our club members cycling together. It was myself, Jess, Danny, Anke, Es and Hein. We roode in each other’s slips the whole way. 

I thought it would be much harder than it was, especially because I hadn’t been cycling that much up untill that point, but it was much easier. The fact that I got to do it with blood-bought family, just made is so much easier and a whole lot better. 

Till the next time!
