Mountain Biking

Post by Gert van Leest »

Hi Guys , went for a biking event in the French Alpes Called the Alpe du Zes

This event was to raise money for the Cancer foundation , our team of 36 sailors raised $ 300.000,- for research on this horrible desease.
with me and my team there were 25 thousand vistors on the mountain amd 8000 bikers spread over 2 days and all togheter we almost touched 30 Milion !!!
June 6th i was on the bike for 7,5 hours and did the climb to the top 2 times.
today 5 days later I start to feel my old self again.

The question is , why can a 6foot 7 guy , a smoker and a beer drinking fan and weiging 250 pounds , fight its way to the top 2 times and live , and the sweetest people in the world can't survive a stupid desease..............
Its UNFAIR !!!

Iam the slow guy in the video..:).

Gert,

Two words when it comes to biking, blood doping. Ask Lance.

Gert,

You CAN drink beer, but I don't know why anyone would want to. Not since they invented Scotch, anyway......
