I have always been a keen outdoor fanatic. Back in the early 90's, I used to be a competitive mountain biker in Belgium.
In the late 90's, after finishing college , I decided to move to Ireland and seek a life of adventure and the unknown.
The move almost immediately resulted in a 9 to 5 job, followed by meeting the love of my life, getting married and having 3 mad kids.
Reaching my mid 40's, my interest in adventure challenges is growing again, so the time has come to set personal goals and challenges which will push me again out of my comfort zone. Where it is nice to have a 9 to 5 job, after 20 years of working long hours, weekends, ... it is time to find that work balance again. This page is where you will find all the stories about the adventures and the preparation for these challenges.

Santander to Malaga Cycle (#Santander2malaga2019)
|
On the 16th June 2019, I will start my cycle which will see me leaving Santander airport and cross Spain towards Malaga airport.
The idea is to cycle through most of Spain's fantastic Nature reserves and discover the "real Spain" away from the tourist trails. From the Parque Natural de Fuentes Carrionas e Fuente Cobre to the fabulous Parque Natural de Arribes del Duero to the peaks of Parque Natural Sierra de Hornachuelos , the the trip will see me cycling approx 1400km in 9 days climbing approx. 16800 meters. Day temperatures will be around 30 degrees, but can easily rise under the hot June sun. Along the route, I will visit tourist attractions, meet the locals and write about my adventures and discoveries in beautiful rural Spain. |
