Adventures

Where Peter used to be a competitive mountain biker in the '90s in Belgium, since his move to Ireland he has slowly but surely been more and more inactive.
So being unfit, being overweight and hitting the mid 40's, the time has come to change all this.

This page is where personal goals and challenges will be set. This page is where you will find all the stories about the preparations for these challenges.
Where Peter has participated in sport events before, these challenges will be larger and longer and will be there to push the bounderies.


You will never finish or fail your next adventure if at least you tried it once and gave it your 100%
