  • Le tour de Miss Brasileirice

    Le tour de Miss Brasileirice

    Excuse the cliché – Le Tour de Miss Brasileirice ! I couldn’t help using this term as we are so close to the “Grand Départ Tour de France” in Utrecht  begin of July. This will be actually  the first time I will be attending such a big cycling event.The agenda during the “Tour de France” involves plenty of cultural events in Utrecht. I will take part to the “Weownyellow” festival which I will be cycling the 45 km DJ ride.

    It all started like this…

    I mentioned to my Mr. Right – who is totally into cycling – one day I will be getting into a racing bike. Well, that is not the day yet but he got me started in it. Anyway, I find it important to have such support and so I am thankful to my dear Roy.

    What’s next…

    The first step was going to Stappenbelt Specialized Concept Store in Apeldoorn. I would not think about another place to find everything with an outstanding customer service.

    IMG_6546They measured here and there to make a bike fitted for Miss Brasileirice. I got a  Specialized  test-bike. Well, so far this one is a top brand and has an insightful brand awareness. 

     

    So the last two weekends I have gained some kilometers into my sport profile in Strava . I found this app excellent for keeping my performance registered so it motivates me to take on some challenges.

    On 12 July at “Weownyellow” festival I will be riding my Vita Specialized made by measure bicycle so from now on I will be busy following a training schema!  IMG_6835

    WEOWNYELLOW 

    This is a unique experience promoted by top women cyclists Marianne Vos, Loes Gunnewijk, Marijn de Vries and Roxane Knetemann. With this program they encourage women to get into cycling  or get it improved. I am in!!!  If you are in The Netherlands and want to take part, please find more details here . I see you there! cropped-bloglogo1.png

  • My first winter holiday found me a place to be when Christmas lacks in white

     Zwiesel is a charming village in Germany. Where you certainly will have plenty of snow when Christmas lacks in white.

    In a few hours, you manage to do the sightseeing. Which consists of the glass factory where you can purchase something decorative. Next to it locates the 8.09 m pyramid with 68 rows of crystal glasses, the highlight of the attractions. The Sculpture Path takes you to surreal works of art step by step.

    You will also be surrounded by excellent gastronomy for reasonable costs. You can also visit nearby villages for great food like the “El Greco” in Regen.

    A few minutes from the charming centre of Zwiesel hides a cosy skiing and snowboarding area, which thankfully is not hectic as any other popular winter sports destination.   SONY DSC

    For starters, you are looking to find the lady with the red bandana. This was an excellent opportunity to take on snowboarding lessons. Unfortunately, we were so intSONY DSCo practising and having a good time that we forgot to take pictures to show our best performances. (photoSONY DSCs from the second day)SONY DSCHowever, the following winter holiday is booked already, so we will register it. Zwiesel is highly recommended to ski and snowboarding lovers, but if you are social network crazy, expect to have trouble connecting to your favourite platform to share your adventure.

    Check out the links I shared to learn more about this fantastic destination.

    P.S: Just as I am late with this post, I am with wishing you the happiest year of your life.    

    Happy 2015 dear followers.
