Nothing really goofy, just check my camera, shoes, and food. I always try to eat at least a last bar or banana just before the race.

Panda Express. The bigger the plate! + Extra side of chow mein, 2500kcal boom!

The Dana Point race this year. Cool views while racing and nice finishing straight. Also, I wasn't planning to race the pro race but did it anyway after racing the 2/3 (I used my Netherlands UCI license). I actually finished pretty well!

I got in touch with the team after racing them last year when I was still with Big Orange.

Fruit
