Eventually, one team did so well in the last round that they ended up in the lead with 69 points, way ahead of the second place. No photos were taken during the ride. Therefore this polar bear is shown, who nicely reflects the terrible cold that was conquered that day Hellingproof pubquiz The second Lustrum week started with a special Hellingproof pubquiz at Loburg.

People were thinking Fancy dinner about Annemiek van Vleuten, Casper, or maybe The final activity of the Lustrum celebrations was even Jan-Willem van Schip. However no one the fancy dinner at Villa Brutus in Ede. As cyclists, guessed it right, because the special guest was of course we went to Ede by bike, with a peloton even better than anyone could have ever of 33 Hellingprofs. Some of our earliest members imagined: it was Sinterbaas! who were joining the dinner said that they could remember the times when Hellingproof didn’t even exist out of 33 members. After this emotional moment of realisation what had become of Hellingproof, it was time to eat our bellies full. Sinterbaas giving a thumbs up to all the Hellingprofs W.S.W.V.

Enjoying some drinks with friends and especially Name: travelling around the world. Nienke Boon What is your greatest cycling experience? I think, every week (in summer) the outside trainings contribute to my greatest cycling experiences. The group made me concur my (not developed) ability of climbing some Dutch mountains. I really love the fact that you are cycling in such a large group and never feel alone on a tough part. An example of this is, that whenever I am cycling alone for a minute or so, somebody always just comes by and asks how it’s going and if you’re all right. The people are amazing and this keeps me enthusiastic about going again every week. Age: 22 What is your best Hellingproof moment of 2018? I think, this would be the moment that Sonja, Sigrid, From where do you originate? Ehlana and I were at the CoBo of the new board.
