Hi All. Its been awhile. Been busy with work and life in general. Its good!
Tomorrow, May 27th at 8:30 in the morning I’ll get my latest test results. We’ll see what it brings.
Its also almost a year ago, June 4th 2008, that i was diagnosed. To celebrate that I climbed the Sommet de Lure. Its a big *** mountain in southern France. Here is the climbing profile. Just like Mt Vetoux yet a bit smaller. It was a hell of a ride. I did make it and that’s what counts. I did it for @lorilens and @sprx. And thanks to Rutger and Bert for having and getting us there.
Due to the wind you can hardly hear me. Thats ok, after 20 km of cycling up the mountain it wasn’t that coherent. BTW i thought the climb would be 7.5 km… in the end i stopped every 1000 meters to catch my breath.

What a great achievement, after such a hard time in your life. As a road cyclist in my free time off, I also read the books of Lance Amstrong, and he truely is inspiring to a lot off people (diagnosed or not) out there !
There are also “sponsor-clinics” on the Alp d’Huez if I remember correctly of which the revenues are used for research against cancer.
