| The fun stops when riders are telling you that they will ride for another team the following year. Great, thanks a lot! |
After an eighteen years break from competitive road cycling and any other sports I got back on the bike in 2011. This blog summarizes in retrospect my first period from 1982-1994 then fast forward to 2011 and finally gets to the turning point, my "revelofication" with my first race in September 2012. From that point in time this blog turns into a race diary with interspersed posts of a more reflective nature.

The Dulcie Walker NatB Race: Another day out as DS with the team
Directeur sportif - you organize the race-calendar, sign up the squat for the race, ensure you send the team, motivate them the night before the race, drive out there and pin their numbers on, hand them bottles and gels when they need feeding and organize their wheels for the neutral car. Hand them recovery drinks after and of course take as many pictures as possible, for sponsors and spouses. It is fun but also a lot of work.
