Back on the weekly rhythm with my newsletter but barely! ; ) On the heels of another action packed weekend, my #dropinordropout mantra applies just as much to daily life as it does to any moment of truth while on two wheels. Meaning: go in full-tuck & dig deep each week! Here is my latest instalment of what kept my wheels turning this week:

RADNESS
The same Yorit mentioned above put on an amazing ride Sunday south of Eindhoven entitled the 'Pathfinder Giro'. To me it really embodied what I 'do' here in Holland.

Check out our ride on Komoot & Strava.
