Thank you Perico for posting your videos. I could answer you in Dutch, because I was born in the south of the Netherlands and I lived in Eys for almost twenty years. My father still lives there. I cycled a lot too (a long time ago...). Of course the Eyserbosweg is my favorite. Have you ever heard about the Open Dutch Championship Bag Carrying (Zakkendragen)? Another great sportsevent on the Eyserbosweg!
You are very welcome, the Eyserbosweg is one of my favorite spots ever, it is always great to walk or cycle there.
Didn't know they carried bags there, I heard they did it at the Gulpenerberg outside Partij though, also a very steep road (18% even, although 400 metres shorter).
I wouldn't mind living in Eys, to be honest! Thank you very much for your appreciated support! :)
You're correct about the Gulpenerberg. The event moved there because it became too big. The event started as a bet (for, as I remember well, a hundred Dutch guilders) between three farmers in de fifties or sixties. Two of them and one's assistent walked up the hill (one kilometer) with a 100 kg bag. The assistent won. Much later he was my neighbour and very proud when the event became a championship.
Haha, ook deze is weer goed hoor. Geweldig hoe je zo enthousiast bent over deze geweldige fietslocatie. Presenteren kun je echt goed, misschien eens soliciteren bij de NOS als Mart stopt (alhoewel hopelijk niet te snel).
Ja ik woon in Heerlen hier, heb ook altijd hier (of in de buurt) gewoond. Bedankt voor de complimenten :) tsja ik ben denkelijk totaal ongeschikt voor reguliere tv, maar authentiek ben ik nog wel ;)
That's awesome, I am very delighted to hear this. I still want to finally make some technical improvements though, but you can expect loads more I guess.
Aww that's wonderful, thanks ever so much! Yeah I guess it sure is pretty here, at least if you compare it to the rest of the Netherlands. But then again, each country has its many magnificent spots, time to visit yours! :)
Haha yeah good question, I guess my mother asked the same on Sunday, when we saw these fields elsewhere. I looked it up, and my best shot is, these are coleseeds or turnips, they have that vibrant yellow colour. Certainly something agricultural!
Stop it Pertico! You are making me very jealous! The weather here in the States has been very cruel this spring. It looks like a very lovely day. Enjoy!
To your slight comfort, the temperature drop has been significant today, 10 degrees Celsius, to about 19 (that's 66 Fahrenheit). It's weird, in southern Europe it rains all the time, here it is dry for over a month, while we should have their weather.
At least someone's getting good weather ! :) Winter's definitely shifting here in North America - We got snow, in mid April along the east coast ! I just hope the tulip festival can go on here in Ottawa - Mine haven't popped out.
That's crazyk, snow this late. Although one time I was in Finland, round first of May, I looked out on a totally frozen harbour still, but that was at 66 degrees North. Good luck with your tulips, our national symbol next to wooden shoes and windmills, all 3 I care nothing about ;)
Ottawa has strong ties with your royal family. They lived here during WWII and Princess Margriet was born at the Civic Hospital, where her room had been declared "dutch soil" for the occasion. Princess Juliana gave the city 100,000 tulip bulbs in 1945 and their popularity here has grown significantly since. It's the city's official flower.
It's a nice flower, but alas I am an avid adversary of the Dutch monarchy and all the people that were in it in the 20th century. I'd rather have a republic than these rather unpleasant ignorant people (although the people you mention, are not so bad).
Zelf was ik zondag 8 april nog met mijn racefiets een stukje gaan fietsen in Zuid-Limburg. De Dode Man deed ik toen voor het eerst, het valt echter enorm mee als je hem erg langzaam opfietst, vond ik. In dit filmpje mis ik de Cauberg en Keutenberg, zou ook leuk zijn als je die in een filmpje kon zetten;)
Haha geweldig dat je het terrein kent. In een van mijn oudere videos genaamd "My 22 subscribers are special" zie je alles van de Keutenberg. Alleen de Cauberg, tsja, daar heb ik zelf nooit veel aangevonden, ik mijd ook liever het drukke Valkenburg, ben er al eens op een auto gebotst die niet uitkeek.
Ja, bij de Cauberg komen is inderdaad vervelend. Twee weken terug had ik me verkeken op een stuk weg met eenrichtingsverkeer, toen moest ik een stuk lopen. Echter omdat ik maar af en toe in Zuid-Limburg kom met mijn fiets, is de Cauberg toch een soort 'must-do' klim voor me. Het blijft toch fascinerend om die ene bocht naar rechts te nemen bij al die terrasjes, en dan naar boven te fietsen.:D
Jaaa dat is zeker een kick, ik heb hem vorig jaar beklommen, de dag voor de Tour etappe, best een sensatie. Alleen erna.. ik heb zeker 45 minuten erover gedaan een beetje adequate vervolgroute te nemen, maar ik heb hem niet gevonden. Of het nou via Berg is, of Geulhem, lekker in een rondje past hij voor mij niet helaas (en je wilt ook niet meteen weer afdalen).
hohohohoh! as always, things look worse than they are, perhaps with the exception of the Eyserbos. Chances are 1:800.000 to 1 you see an Eyserbosaap there ;)
Hey, we waren zondag langs de Smid gereden, on tour naar de fameuze ijskraam in Epen. Maar deze lus was slechts 32 km in totaal! Wel kickuh, dat je ze live hebt gezien, jij bent kewl! Bedankt voor al je goede ratings, mjoh! Groetjes, Juan
Aaah but then you have Mount Whitney and so many other pictoresque mountains and sights in your state, I am jealous of ;) But yeah the great thing is I can see and climb a lot on a compact route, I hardly go over 40 miles.
Haha yeah splendid, it's just similar to many climbs in Italian villages. And then to think, that the Passo di Mortirolo has 12 kms of this kinda average.
TO be honest, today the temp dropped 10 degrees. I had been reading non stop past weeks about the south pole, so mentally I had your state. I am glad I made your thoughts dwell elsewhere!
Haha no as a matter of fact, it's just not placed conveniently in my route. Anyway, it's not that difficult a hill, so you don't miss much by not climbing ;)
1:00 - heb ik vandmiddag heletijd gezeten prachtige plek !

Inderdaad, een van mijn favoriete spots :)
Prachtig uitzicht, over de boomgaard, weilanden en steile hellingen.. fantastisch!
