Please find below the nowadays old news from the NEWZFLASH-es:

KNEE-INJURY

The 140 km Amsterdam - Etten-Leur combined with the fall in Vlaardingen unfortunately caused a knee-injury to the Cyclizt.

Because of the swollen right knee it was not/hardly possible to train and therefore scheduled races were not cycled...

Knee is slowly transforming to it's normal shape, thus hopefully racing is started on 12 June again, with Plooy as Fen.

THE BROTHERS IN WORMERVEER

The brothers Hermens were in action in Wormerveer on 16 May. Plooy (SuperFEN 2003) and Johnny Bravo were present, however action was short. After 7 rounds the cyclist before Frenk couldn't follow the peloton, causing Frenk to stopp after round 8.

Howeverrrr, he was definitely not the first to quit! Unfortunately also Remco stopped the race after 25 rounds. Thus still no full race in 2004 for our Cyclizt...

On 17 May Frenk cycled from Amsterdam to Etten-Leur, 'only' 140 km, with a speed of 26 km/h. A praizeworthy activity of course!

Keeping up the good spirit and with more and more train-ingskilometers, let's continue for the next activity on the Schedule!

CRASH IN VLAARDINGEN

Pfff, SCARY! Shortly after starting the race in Vlaardingen (05-05) another cyclist collided with Frenk. This resulted in a crash of our Cyclizt, including a damaged safety helmet (luckily obliged in the race!) and scraped knee [addition: and blue face (nice stripe+blue eye) and scraped elbow]. In his fall Frenk crashed into another cyclist (broken collarbone or elbow). It was good to hear that everything seems OK.

Take your First Aid-diploma while supporting!

MAY SCHEDULE 2004

As promised the Cyclizt scheduled a diversity of May-competitionz. As usual with the common reservations (weather, form, cold, workload, lack of sleep, food, etc., etc.)...

Many Fens already announced their presence, thus the Fen of the Year 2004-competition is also started!

The schedule can be checked at Rezults & Schedule

CLUB-CHAMPIONSHIPS BREDA KNOOPPUNT 2004

Frenk's competition season started: on 28 April the first race was driven on the terrain of the club.

The Elites, Amateurs A, B & C drove together in a race over 35 min. and 5 rounds.

The Cyclizt drove well in the peloton that formed, on the very wet asphalt, at some distance behind the Elites.

The Cyclizt was spotted several times in front, critically looked at by Aspirant Fen Marjon (now upgraded to Fen) and the webmissstress.

After 35 min. the Cyclizt lost the group and stopped the race. Mean speed 39 km/h.

A promising start of the season, thus continue training and start driving many races.

Keep track of the races at Rezults & Schedule

AMSTEL GOLD TOURVERSION 2004

The Tourversion of the Amstel Gold Race was driven by the Cyclizts Frenk en Remco.

The 150 km [152.4] was cycled in 6h 34min [23.2 km/h].

Unfortunately that is only somewhat faster than in 2003, buttt

this was maybe caused by a) the hot weather, b) the high startspeed and/or

c) the 2 ladies that spotted the guys 6x on their way and

'seduced' them 3x for a short conversation... (but also provided drinks!).

TRAINING-UPDATE

In March and April the Cyclizt started training very hard.

Two times there was trained at the Club.

Unfortunately the 3rd time was cancelled due to the weatherconditions,

however Frenk already cycled to the club (and went home soaken wet...).

During a week of 'holiday' there was a cycling zession on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug near Plooij

and with Broermans there was a succezfull trainingzession in Limburg.

Rezult: in 6 days almost 450 km of cycling!!

Training for the Amstel Gold Race (tourversion 150 km) on 17th of April is in full swing!

After this, races will be planned, so

Plooy was chosen as SUPERFEN of the year 2003,

by visiting all three zycled races!

January 2004

On request of the growing amount of international Fens we now proudly present

the English version of the Fenclub For Frenk Homepage!

January 2004

Of course all the best for 2004 for the Fens.

Frenk may perform in cycling competition already in January!

This would then be a club/training competition at 'De Mol'.

Meanwhile he cycled to work already 2 times.

And on a sunny Wednesday (21-01) even a spontaneous trainingssession was scheduled!

The Amstel Gold Race (April) is signed up for.

The (Dutch) Fens already look forward to the pie, at a too low amount of km's/h (to be determined).

Su. 31 August 2003

Frenk + Brother finished the Amstel Gold Race!

The 150 km was cycled in 6h 26m 12s (23.3 km/h)

without 1x stop + 2x flat tyre mean speed was 25.3 km/h!

PERFECT PERFORMANCE, however, the pie-limit was 28 km/h, thus...!!

Following some minor start-up problems (license, registration, training)

the cycling career of 'our' Frenk finally started in June 2003,

obviously followed by a growing amount of Fens, united in this Fenclub.
