About me

Cyclist by passion since 2003, I have always been inspired by crazy challenges. Attracted by the pro world tour, I rode one season by the Blancs Gillets club in youth categories.

I discovered cyclosportives early and regularly stayed in the Ardennes to ride there and enjoy their hilly roads.

From 2011, I took part in some hilly and mountain triathlons: IronMan Mallorca, several hilly IronMan 70.3, Alpe d'Huez, Mont Ventoux.

In 2017, I discovered the discipline that gives me the most pleasure and sensations: ultra-distance cycling. Since then, I have been going to the Alps every summer and taking part in BikingMan events whenever I have the opportunity.

In 2020 I started the project Conquête des Ardennes, qui s’inspire du Raid des 7 Majeurs : une randonnée permanente, de 460km pour 9000m de dénivelé positif.

Passioned by very long journeys, I finally decided to give birth to The Ardennes Monster, an ode to the Belgian Cycling Legacy.
