Yes, and he also is very convinced on this believe. Although it is not the reason for the pelgrimage to Tilburg i hope. He also tries to infect other people with the "disease", he also asked me to bring a crate of the quadrupel to the WC as a present to gNick.

Alas I am long past any cure, all I can do is drink to ease the pain...

well I've long time dreamed of going to Holland, not for the beer but for if I remember it right 'minkki'. Spelling may be very wrong. And so if there are no major clashes with them other silly races I have to do, we,the at family, will be going for a few weeks camping :-) never know might be able to get Bugster to race;-)

Yep that's right I remember it took 6 of us to hold him down and force the first bottleful past his lips  Believe it or not, I'd forgotten that Latrappe was based in Tilburg, otherwise it would have gone in the first post!

Have you looked at the route for the 20km race? Near to the far west of the circuit is a very nasty looking foot/bike bridge, looks to be around 8 feet wide and has two almost 90 degree square corners on it. They look so tight that the Quest riders may need to stop, exit and turn their machines round then get back in. As for the fishy, looks like I may need to slow to about 5mph, deploy the landing gear (when I have installed the gear) and open the bomb doors to get more steering lock to get round it. The ramps look steep too but one should have enough momentum to get up.
The track also looks like it gets very close to the canal in places, I'm going to have to give some serious thought to the canopy latching as I will want to be able to exit quickly and trying to open the 4 slide latches when upside down in a canal inside a fibreglass pod which is rapidly filling up with water maybe awkward. A big red button and somekind of explosive canopy release maybe needed.

Looks to be the same as those bridges we came back over after the tunnel at rotterdam last time we went, (oud pernisserweg or something similar) you were fine with the quest then weren't you?
