Steven Rooks Classic: as the name recalls, it's a cycling classic in the which 150kms are ridden on the hills of the pintoresque Ardennen, a gourgeous sightseeing area in the south of Belgium. During that ride have I been able to achieve one of my highest records so far. The weather forecast was undesirable: rain, cold, mist and lots of water were the characteristics of such a day. Nevertheless, thanks to a friend of mine whose enthusiasm motivated me to ride despite the weather have we taken the ride and done our best.

152 kms in 5 hours, 10 minutes with an average speed of 29,37 km/h in total

The results speak for themselves. It was no easy task nor was it that pleasant, but due to a remarkable organisation, beautiful chosen roadways and challenging climbs, has it certainly become an unforgetful ride. Thank be to God for granting me such an opportunity. It's hard to understand, but some of the greatest accomplishments are achieved under the most arduous circumstances.
