Bart Hofman , Het verhaal!

Описание: Hi everyone , i have some big news i would like to tell you
I quit competition on high level in Cyclocross and MTB.
Past race was my last one , ending with a regional champ title elite z/c cyclocross was a dream finish!
I already thought about this at the end of last season , so its not decision of the moment , but I spent a lot of time thinking about this , it was hard and not easy!

I love Cycling and the freedom it brings , but the offer and suffer and hard trainings in combination with work and live is really hard , and I would like to quit now and on time then to go down mentally.
If your thinking ‘what am I doing’ on long hard training ride’s , or you look more forward to the easy ride on Monday then the race on Sunday , it’s time to think about and do what makes you more happy.
This does not mean I quit sports or ride bicycles , because its just a way of live , even a addiction! But the pressure I’ve put on myself , and the ‘I have to’ will not be there. No more extra hour of training even if I am mentally done , no more extra hill repeat or sprint , no more riding trough bad weather if I don’t have to , just have joy again doing the things I like.

So it is possible you see me on Social rides , VTT’s or small MTB race’s or marathons .
I was always fully 100% committed ( to much 110% ) to my sport , and have some lovely and great memories to it. I would like to thank many friends , my mechanics , fans , sponsors and organisations for all there support they gave me over the past years , and i hope they all appreciate that. Also I cant thank my parents enough for all they did for me , al the miles they drove me , the help , the good and the bad moments , great memories , big thanks!
If you are already here reading my story , big thanks for the interest and the respect!
Maybe I see you on the track or ride somewhere, I will have more time to have a drink now , it just still going to be a water or a lemonade ;-)

Thanks
Bart Hofman
