| Me and My Papa |
It all started 3 years ago with my dad. (In Holland we say Papa.) I was a soccer player and he was a cyclist. He tried to get me interested in cycing for years and when I was only 14 years old we entered the Shimano Challenge together. It was a grueling ride. I was the youngest kid there and I just glided up the mountain past grown men and experienced riders. People kept telling my Dad that I had talent so I joined the local racing club. But then people said that I was too old to start at a new sport. For the first couple years I always came in last but but with a lot of hard work 3 years later I am now placing in the top 10.
