Most memorable ride:
My most memorable ride was in Houffalize during the World Cup a couple of years ago. I was participating in the open class. The World cup track was muddy and very technical. The singletracks and the downhills were amazing. The climbing steep and tough. And there were a lot of people supporting the riders near the track with cowbells and yelling. This track was pure pleasure and because of that I did not feel any pain during the race. The day after we did take a look (and support) how the pro’s where climbing and going downhill, which was even more impressive. The atmosphere there was superb.
