Granfondo Cycling Team

March 21, 2018

In this blog you will read about my other passion: riding my roadbike.

This year I will spend a little bit less working to persue another big goal. Last year I joined my clubs racing team and did some amateur classics and criteriums. I found i'm better in the hills, so when my club started a new Grand Fondo team, I didn't hesitate and joined!

My goal (and that of rest of our team) is to qualify for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Varese, Italy. You can do this finising top 20% in one of the Gran Fondo's in the UCI Gran Fondo World Series.

Because I really want to get the maximum out of myself this year (yes I started training like a pro in november) I put the fulltime external jobs on hold. When training 12+ hours a week you need your rest and be able to plan your training over the day. I am still be available for remote work where I am more flexible to plan my work around training.

Bellow you will find the races I will be doing:

• 10/03 - 17/03 : Trainingweek Girona
• 08/04 : GF Gassin Golfe de Saint Tropez Qualifier
• 26/05 : Schleck Gran Fondo Qualifier
• 03/06 : Gran Fondo Stelvio Santini
• 24/06 - 30/06 : Tour Transalp 7 stage race
• ? : Still to be planned
• 02/09 : UCI Granfondo World Championships
