I feel the same, react similar and my destination will always be there whenever I get there. When I see 'strava' stats for 'fastest time' here and there, I think to myself, "Why? You might as well be on a stationary!" Anywho... great philosophy, great story. I will continue to encourage all peoples to 'get on their bikes and ride'. and in your words, to "own the trail". Thanks!'

Beste Pien, bedankt voor je verhaal. Wij vinden een persoonlijk verhaal helemaal geen tijdverspilling hoor. We hopen juist dat meer collega's delen over wat zo fijn is aan en fietsen of wat jij belangrijk vindt van fietsen naar je werk bijvoorbeeld. We zijn blij dat je fietst en liever fietst dan schrijft! Natuurlijk verdien jij met jouw verhaal deze maand een paar kekke sokken.
