Winter is approaching, and Piet's hours on the bike are decreasing; it is not too much fun getting soaked when it is less than 10 degrees outside. Anyway, he participated for the 3rd time in the Rabobank Beach Challenge, 38 km from Scheveningen to Noordwijk and back. The weather was reasonable, with only a light wind, a minor drizzle and a temperature of 5 degrees. The tide was low, and the sand was quite firm, so Piet rode a personal best of 1 hour 37 minutes, despite suffering from a cold.
There are no photos of him, but last week he got hold of the cycling pictures of last summer, that his sister took on Col d'Ornon and Alpe d'Huez. A nice reminder and something to look forward to!
