miniDH Apeldoorn

Last Sunday we had a unique event in our hometown, a mini downhill race! A short track, about a minute, with some hand built obstacles and about 70 riders! Among them world champ Anneke Beerten! She took the first place for the women without much competition. I came in 3rd and proved myself VERY unfit for competition. Apparently I do the opposite of what Anneke does, she works out every day, and takes a break one day once in a while. I work every day and ride maybe one day a week. But then again, I’m a Photoshop black-belt because of it! Good luck Anneke, show ‘em hell this year!

#9 Take more pictures!

While #6 “Do bi-weekly training ride with Isil (and anyone who’ll join)” slowly is turning into a WEEKLY ride (yes, you’ve heard it right!), I’ve been busy doing #9 as well.

#9 Take more pictures!

Unfortunately, eighter I’m loosing my touch (I did forget the whitebalance thingie!) or my cam is slowly loosing it’s touch (I’m always gain for new gadgets, just not when I need one). Yesterday’s secret trail-ride has given me more blurry (no pun) shots, than sharp ones. I hope this doesn’t become an epidemic, I remember my friend R’s camera is slowly dying too…

But not all is lost…

Rene Wildhaber Signs with Trek Bikes

I’m so stoked about this news: “Rene Wildhaber Signs with Trek Bikes”, the best transfer of 2009!  It’s a bit old news, he’s posted about his transfer in december, but I just learned about it. Congratulations to Rene (a hero: 6x Megavalanche 4x Bike Attack for starters), on choosing for such an awesome bike.  ;-)
