About me<\/h6>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Cycliste par passion depuis 2003, j’ai toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 attir\u00e9 par les challenges un peu fous. Attir\u00e9 par le monde professionnel, je roule un saison au sein du club des Blancs Gillets chez les jeunes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I discovered cyclosportives early and regularly stayed in the Ardennes to ride there and enjoy their hilly roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

A partir de 2011, je fais un passage bref sur quelques triathlons montagnards : IronMan, IronMan 70.3, Alpe d’Huez, Mont Ventoux.<\/span><\/p>\n

En 2017, je d\u00e9couvre la discipline qui me procure le plus de plaisir et de sensations : l’ultra-distance \u00e0 v\u00e9lo. Depuis, je me rends chaque \u00e9t\u00e9 dans les Alpes et participe \u00e0 des \u00e9preuves BikingMan d\u00e8s que j’en ai l’occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2020 I started the project <\/span>\n Conqu\u00eate des Ardennes<\/a>, qui s’inspire du Raid des 7 Majeurs : une randonn\u00e9e permanente, de 460km pour 9000m de d\u00e9nivel\u00e9 positif.<\/span><\/p>\n

Passioned by very long journeys, I finally decided to give birth to The Ardennes Monster, an ode to the Belgian Cycling Legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n \n
