Hein, editor-in-chief of MAX Today, will be hosting the 4 Days of Nijmegen for the first time in 2023. As a former resident of a dorm room on Via Gladiola, now is the time to take the tour you- even. This is how he hopes to win the coveted cross after 4 days. This is his day 3 report.
The Day of the Seven Hills of the 4 Days
“Another day 3 of the 4Daagse, which takes us along the Zevenheuvelenweg to Groesbeek. Something to look forward to and something to look forward to. Fortunately, the rain announced at the start did not materialize, but the kilometers traveled began to count. My calves are the first to protest, the rest of my legs are starting to feel heavy too. Fortunately, there is a remedy for this: stubbornly stomping at a tight pace.
Along place names with an M
“In this way, we pass one place name after another with a Mr. Malden, Molenhoek, Mook, Middelaar, Plasmolen, Milsbeek and Gennep. This time the home front comes to Ottersum to give us new energy.
Heroic wheelchair cyclists on the Zevenheuvelenweg
“Then the hills of Groesbeek rise up, with the Zevenheuvelenweg at the end. Difficult, especially for heroic wheelchair riders, but we make it through the climbs and descents. The Norwegian soldiers give us the rhythm, the enthusiastic public does the rest.
150 kilometers of the 4 Days in the legs
“The home front also appears at the end of Zevenheuvelenweg. I know now that there is a guardian angel… After that we take a long lap of honor through Nijmegen. 150 kilometers on the clock, to try to reach the last stop Via Gladiola.
