There weren't many girls there, so I often went with the boys.
I got a rental road bike and every Sunday I loved going here as a shy girl to cycle tour trips. In the meantime I had become a member of Tourclub Pijnacker. I was allowed to participate in the Dutch Championship fat tire race a few times, because I had already been on the podium a number of times.
I got the hang of it and wanted to drive more fat tire races, first in Nootdorp, Berkel en Rodenrijs, Pijnacker and later we went to the Westland. I loved that! The result was not very good but I had had such a good time. When I was about 9 or 10 I drove a fat tire race for the first time. So the real tearing could begin without the side wheels. My grandmother found a very small bicycle at a fair. My parents already had a bicycle, but it was still too big for me. I set my sights on learning how to ride a bike and soon I was racing across the playground next to our house, first with side wheels and when I was a bit older I insisted on having no side wheels. I couldn't do this yet, but I soon changed that. I had many older girls next door in the street who could already cycle.
As a child I always wanted to cycle, I was a shy but stubborn toddler with a mind of my own.
