And this year’s award for exenger with the best comeback goes to… Tjeerd Massalt. He said no to drugs a couple of years ago and he said stop to alcohol last february. This weekend he had his strongest achievement in years by finishing 12th in the Cinellicat in Eindhoven. (true, he did use a bicycle with brakes and gears). This man makes us all look good and we sure are some proud friends. And many congratulations to all other winners, organisers, sponsors, guests, competitors.

It’s time to strain your bicycle to the max. These are gonna be some busy couple of days for those boys and girls attending all alleycats in Holland the next weekend. After Koninginnedag on thursday the racing starts. With cats in Eindhoven on saturday, Utrecht on sunday and Amsterdam on monday. I’m pretty sure I’m going to all of them so if anyone feels like sharing the tandem, let me know. And beware of fatigue.

Il grande vincitore della Milano Sanremo nel 1943. In the spotlight for next weekend’s kattebak alleycat in Eindhoven de ghakste. Start is at Tour de Ville Head Quarters (20:00) and finish will be at DINGS Pakhuis, Bergstraat 12. I’ll be doing the race planning so la corsa will take about un’ora e mezza. Per la rapida persone.

Beware, cause Stuurbaard Bakkebaard is coming to Luxor Live in Arnhem. No more music for the masses, raw and sometimes uncut, met overtuiging gespeeld and not able to be labelled. SBBB are from Eindhoven and will probably play songs from their new album L’Amour.
