Sunday
After cycling 15 k I met my group. They were on their way back to the pub. (start & finish) I turned and got them after a few kilometers.
Well spoken with one of the chaps I learned that he fell. You always hope it isn't you.
I rode with them to town and then I went home but I wasn't halfway home when a car tried to turn right. I could break but hit the car and fell myself. The driver didn't see me at all.
Luckily I have probably no damage. After that I rode another 10 k to see if everything on my bike still works.

Fog
At 4 pm I felt how it is to cycle around in the fog. After the sun burnt away the fog in the morning I couldn't wait to cycle a few kilometers. I was foggy already, but when I came in the field there was a real dense fog. I can't remember I rode in real fog. Luckily I had my red back light with me. So I could be noticed by traffic.
But it was a ride to the unknown. I lost my sense of direction and the surroundings were not quite known to me.

It's like climbing a mountain, step by step, meter by meter I reach the limit, the sky.
Today I started at 11 am, when the fog had gone. Then I cycled via Bunnik and Zeist to Doorn, avoided some fallen trees due to the storm and snowfall, climbed some hills and cycled back to my town.

third run
The morning was beautiful, wind still a little frost in the air and the sun shining upon my skin when I ran a short time. I really didn't run quick. I took my time to feel the paces landing on the ground. In my ears was classical music and that made it fun. Well fun, after 15 minutes I turned to the recorded CD's in the MP3-player.

second run, Nov. 18
Today's run in a cloudless sky, 5 degrees celsius, no wind.
I ran a short round through the neighborhood. Very slow and with 3 stops I ran 14 minutes. I didn't feel anything to worry about. I decided to run an exta kilometer. So totally I ran 4 kilometer (or less). Important thing is that I don't feel any pain (running and afterwards) So that's good.

back to running?
Maybe inspired by the Amsterdam an New York marathon I had my first run of the year.
It was a short one.
5 minutes slowly running 8 k/hr after that walking and stretching and then again 5 minutes slowly back home.
Well actually I was quite sweatty back home.
Maybe Nordic Walking is something for me when I keep this pace ;-)

It seems that my week starts at Friday and ends at Sunday. This ain't true. I got work to do too and that's fun also. Nevertheless I don't P.O.T. However on some day's I can use the trainingshoes.
Talking about trainingshoes. It's time to put them on my feet again, at least to try to run again. This time I want to prepare myself on the first steps by stretching-exercises in home, at work or where ever I can do it.
I should not set huge goals. Maybe I should start with 1 kilometer running painfree before biking. First I should get the joy of running. And thats not here. My body has to adapt to the new movement

We had a individual 10.2 k time trial and the same distance for a couple-ride.
My time on the individual race was 16:34 minutes. It was the 11th time, not bad considering that the others cycle much more trained. However I should be faster than the fastest woman, I wasn't.
The 16:34 was 5:24 minutes faster than last year. In 2004 I missed a bend in the road at cycled straight forward till I thought "hey, this is too far".
After that ride we experienced (after a schoolyard diplomacy to form couples) the couple ride.
Again the 10.2 k; now we rode it in a dissappointing 16:56 minutes.

fallen again
Today wasn't a very good day. The weather was not okay, a little too cloudy a little haze. Temperature was low. Since a long time we hadn't them below 20 in the afternoon.
I cycled with the B-group and as they didn't go to fast I cycled away from them. that was the pressure they needed I think because after that the tempo was high.
I lost a part of the B-riders in the hilly area. But on the dike along the river. I catch-ed up with a group.
Finally I went left as the group went right. I wanted to make some extra kilometers.
Well, I know it now. 15 extra kilometers and a fall on the road because the front wheel slipped in gravel road workers put on the dike.
My left knee is perforated as well as the cycling trouser and my bike is damaged.

Sunny ride
Today I rode with the ledig erf team again.
It was very silent at the start. Everyone was waiting for the signal to start.
Normally the signal is a big volume. from a speaker on the wall of the cafe.
But probably that is also history. Like the new owner tries to make Ledig Erf history. (his policy is somewhat different than the former owner and he is an outsider in cycling)
I think next year I become member of het stadion.

Short runs
I wasn't intended to ride but the weather was too nice not to go.
I only rode to the cycling track were I saw de Volharding and Het Stadion using the track simultaneously in a tour of 1 hour and 3 rounds.
I was doing the same last Friday. The club rides 5 kilometers an hour faster, that's the difference.

Racing against the machine
The machine is the clock.
Racing on my bike against the clock on a piste des cyclistes, a racingtrack for cyclists.
I arrived at the track after 11.14 kilometer in 22.19 minutes. From then I cycled one hour. My average after 1:22:19 hour was 33.89 kilometer an hour.
In the total time I rode 46.49 kilometers. That results in an average in the last hour of 35.350 kilometer.
This is extraordinary, a record time.

New record
This time I rode for the 2nd time in a row with some riders starting at 11 am.
Some riders are nearly as good as an average amateur. And that is a status many riders would only be that in their dreams. But there is also a rider who started in the Dutch national championships (on road) cycling. He rode with/against Dutch riders who are in the Tour de France momentarily. This is unbelievable. Only a few steps and I'm riding with professionals. I'm kidding myself, It's a huge gap between them and me. In two and a half hours they'll ride 135 kilometers and I know from this day that I can do 88 kilometers in that time.

I cycled with Ledig Erf
The fast riders were too fast. They didn't stop at Amerongen too.
I decided to cycle the 35 k back and not to wait on the second group.
This was not a wise decision. Against the wind my speed dropped dramatically from an average of 32 k/hr tot 28 k/hr.
The second group of riders didn't catch me too.

cycling 100 k
My first 100 kilometer this year and I rode a fantastic time. Together with a group of even better rider I got the best out of my bike.
I must say that it was dangerous sometimes. Cars that don't have the patience to ride behind the last rider and traffic on the dyke that should not belong there.
No you can ride more savely when you're on your own.
I took the last wheel and promoted myself as the conductor of this group of riders.

Today I cycled after work with the Pots & Pans group. This group start at Wednesdays at 6 pm.
It's named after the startplace at the corner of a shop which sells pots and pans.
At 8.30 pm it was dark, so we had more than 2 hours of daylight.

5th batavus ride
Today I had my first ride with the Ledig Erf team.
I joined the B-group. The cycle faster and more serious than the C-group.
Despite my will to cycle with this group I couldnt follow the whole strech of 80 kilometer. (In fact my goal was to ride only 60) After 40 kilometer I had to let them go and go on my own speed. Well after 2 hours and 35 minutes I was back where I started.

- 18th ride
Today would probably be the best day of the new week. So I took my chance to race to the hilly side of the province. 20 Kilometers from startingpoint, but when I arrived it looked so different more snow and again snowing. So I did some climbs. When I turned back home the snowfall became a light rain and my feet were wet. I didn't have any power and with a pace of 17 to 20 k/hr I reached my home. Of course the wind was blowing in my face and that made it colder. Strangely I only felt my feet.

Lovely weather.
The north eastern wind (if there was any) made the air dry. After putting some oil on the calves of my legs (which gives heat to the muscles) I was ready to get wet in an eventual shower. The moment lasted very long before a hailshower tortured me like little pins.
after the one and a half hour training I had to go four floors up. I now know what cartilage means. Every step I took, I heard my left knee; krak krak
No, I think that running would not be a wise decision. Consulting my doctor is maybe a better one.

I can't stop cycling. Today the day started with snowshowers, but in the afternoon the weather improved. I took my bike and cycled against the severe wind. It was just one sunny spell because when I was home it started all over again.
This is not the weather to start running again. My knees are holding but my Achilles tendon (?) is irritated quickly.

Barefoot
Today it was pretty warm compared with the last days, 4 degrees C as a maximum but only 2 when I rode my mileage.
I tried to ride without socks. My co worker does it too on his way to work and back.
I tried it after reading in a newsgroup about 2 pairs of socks, (tried that too but it doesn't work for me)
I rode barefoot along the canal to my turning point at 15 K. First I had a slight sidewind but after some "hills" the wind blew right in my face.
I tried to pass a boat sailing at some distance and had a cramp in my left upper leg. It must be the cold.

But above all I feel tired right now.

Castle
Not until spring 2004 I knew that some kind of a castle , a reinforced house, was behind the trees. Castle Sterkenburg is between Werkhoven and Doorn.
The photograph has a sepia effect to accentuate the age of the building.
Though the wind made it colder than yesterday I cycled a little more.

bridge
Looking back at the -Prins Claus- bridge, a beautiful bridge leading to nothing. However it's one of the Dutch artificial hills.
The Lek
This is the Lek. A river the Allies in the Second World War found so hard to cross. On this river the Vikings sailed to Dorestad, up-river 15 kilometers or 10 miles. The Viking murdered and plundered the rich city and destroyed the castle of the landlord. in the 9th century.
Watertower
This French looking watertower (It is now the livingspace of a family) is always a landmark cycling back to Utrecht.

Trained on my racingbike, along the channel to a fort, through the city back to the channel, through the fields. At least I thought that I could cycle through the fields back home but the building of houses and infrastructure makes it a no go area.

Storm
A storm raged over Europe.
Later, after the storm reached its high, I trained some K's.
It was a heavy training and I had to be constantly on my qui vivre not being swept away by a blow of the wind. In that way it was an unpleasant ride. But the temp. was so good, over the 10 degrees C.
