[GertJan Verspui]

Jeroen & Michael, (it maybe look like you 2 are a couple here, but I believe that you are Not)

The first Natrix was a very nice one, try to imagine my tears of happyness when I found it...

Bad boy, GJ!

Great pictures,
Love the tired Archaeo.

[GertJan Verspui]

Thanks Matthieu, it is always cool to photograph an animal while it is still doing its sort of routine!


BUT in this case, it was not tired, it was talking to me

very nice !! I love the old fashion downhill Klein

[GertJan Verspui]

Yes, my old Klein still does the job, I used it to reach the Speleomantes in the Sette Fratelli mountains, a flat tire halfway gave a lot of problems, the route back was a different one then the way towards the spot, better roads, but 15 km in stead of 8 km with a flat tire (rear).

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

There I was, thinking Dutchmen never leave home without a bicycle repair kit

[GertJan Verspui]

It was a choice not to bring it......I had it in the campervan.......Thoughts: I havent killed a tire on my MTB in the last 3 years, so today will be ok not to bring the repair kit..............

solution for hard herper: tubeless tir e !!

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

You could have gone for a macho solution like the Discovery Channel guys. Nobody likes viridiflavus anyway...
