Mallorca training camp
15 March, 2019
2018 as my first year of racing on the half IRONMAN distance was quite spectacular as the year started with an(other) injury and ended with the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship – a rollercoaster ride of a year and hard to beat. So what about 201...
My La Ride on Tenerife: 28k of climbing
15 October, 2018
La Ride des Belles Filles was all about climbing at least 985m. I did 1593 – and here’s how it was. Luckily I was on Tenerife during the period of La Ride so I could do it on my most favorite streets. We started in a place called Chio to...
My adventure in the French Alps: L’etape du tour
16 July, 2018
I always wanted to know how it feels to be part of something like the Tour de France, and be honest – Which cycling noob doesn’t want to be?! So when SKODA and their We Love Cycling project asked me to take part in the L’etape du tour, I didn...
Coffee rides, places to visit
11 June, 2018
We all need easy rides, mainly to recover from a hard and intensive ride. Doing so I combine all the things I love on that day, my love, friends, my bike and some coffee. On hot days I go for a smoothie though.. The place to go to in my hometown is c...

One for the foodies: Paris and Barcelona by bike.
15 August, 2017
Two weeks without my beloved Aura-lie, (my Aura x Ridley), and I must admit, it is driving me insane. I miss how it feels to be on my bike, either alone or surrounded by people. The freedom I feel, the way I am able to express my thoughts and emotion...
The Beauty that is Bright
12 May, 2017
The word ‘bright’ instantly makes me think of good things. Sunshine, light, boldness, even higher intelligence. It sounds like a positive word. So it seems quite fitting that a lovely little town in the Ovens Valley, Victoria (Australia f...
Life in Belgium… – It ain’t so bad after all
20 April, 2017
I never thought I would say the words “I’m going to miss Belgium”. Yes, there it is everyone, I have grown to like this small country we foreigners (I think it is a cycling thing) refer to as the “arm pit of Europe”. 10 Points for Belgium M...
Back to Lake Garda
5 April, 2017
If you read my first blogpost you know that my boyfriend and I keep going to Lake Garda once a year for holiday and cycling (and running and swimming and eating pizza and gelato). However, in 2016 we did a bike tour in the mountains and I for the fir...
Huge Lizards, Snowy Mountains without Snow and Heart Melting Koalas
30 March, 2017
‘What’s today?’ asked Piglet, ‘my favourite day’, said Pooh. I jumped out of bed, the count down on my phone read zero. I screamed out in glee to my partner ‘woohooo!’ It was finally time! Our long awaited adventure...
