Second k on the Stromer ST3 Pinion
Last week the odometer on the Stromer crossed the 2000km mark. Again it took a bit longer than expected. Started working on a new project which has me going to The Netherlands regularly which is too far to go by bike. The Pinion + carbon belt drive form a very robust combination. I had to…

The College @ Sittard Hilton
I had dinner with my son @ The College while staying in the Sittard Hilton a few weeks ago. We had arrived quite late at the hotel and had to get up early for our Limburgs Mooiste bike ride the next day so we didn’t bother to go looking for a restaurant in the neighbourhood.…

Ter Helme 2023
To continue our yearly tradition we went to Ter Helme again this year. The weather was reasonable, not too hot but still warm enough to go to the beach 2 times. On the Monday we went for a bike ride to Sint Idesbald. It had been a while since we went that way. On our…

Limburgs Mooiste
Last Saturday I went to ride Limburgs Mooiste with my 12 year old son. As we only did 2 practice rides, one of 70k and another one of 80k in the weeks before we took the shortest 70k blue route. With all the hills around Valkenburg it would probably be challenging enough. About the distance…

3,5k Jog
Sunday I was planning to go for another bike ride again but it didn’t materialise. Around 3:30 I decided that I had to do something pro active to compensate for the upcoming dinner which would include a lot of food and sitting at the table with some exercise so I went for a run. As…

Maison Belge
Sunday we went for dinner at Maison Belge to celebrate a couple of May birthdays. We’ve been there a few times before and so far it was always a success. The kids opted out this time in favour of a home made pizza + Netflix movie evening. It saved us the worry that the dinner…

De Brasserie
Recently I was home alone with my son on a Saturday evening with the other family members out for dinner so we decided to go for dinner ourselves in De Brasserie in Keerbergen. The name may suggest this is to be a place on the lower end of the culinary ladder but it is actually…

Jan Primus route
As part of our preparation for Limburgs Mooiste on June 3 we cycled the Jan Primus route in the neighbourhood of Rotselaar. It is a 72km route with a lot short climbs around Rotselaar so it was a good practice. With the approach to the route and back we cycled almost 80km this time. This…
