17°C in February in The Netherlands? Yes, soooooo we officially opened the new gravel group ride season ☀️🚴🏽‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴🏾🚴‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️🚴‍♀️

The Gravel Loco’s went out to play… and came back with 30 km/h average on a gravel ride — ouch 🥵🔥

Earned that post-ride beer at 🍺🍻😎

Winter miles aren’t always glamorous.
Cold fingers. Grey skies. Zero motivation.

But discipline beats motivation. Every time.

If you have to channel your inner Bruce Lee just to clip in… so be it. 🥋🚴‍♂️❄️

Summer legs are built in winter. 🦿🦿

Why We Climb 🏔️🚴‍♂️ It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense

As cyclists, we choose things that don’t always make sense to others — long climbs, burning legs, thin mountain air.

But if it makes you feel alive, that’s enough.

It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else.
Ride what makes you happy.

A lot cyclists disappear in winter.
Cold. Wet. Dark.
Excuses grow fast this time of year.

But this is where the real work happens. As a 55+ cyclist, I don’t ride in winter because it’s comfortable. I ride because it builds something a lot of people avoid:

Discipline. Mental strength. Consistency.

Today I dropped my very first YouTube vlog!

🎥 How I Stay Motivated as a Cyclist in Winter

It’s more than a ride. It’s how I stay sharp. Fit. Ready for spring.

If you follow me here, you’ll love what I’m building there. Instagram shows the rides. YouTube shows the stories. The real Marcel. Unfiltered. Honest.
