DAAN
VAN MEEUWEN
MARKETING ASSISTANT / ADVENTURER

You could probably describe me best as a passionate cyclist who loves to be challenged. I like ultra-endurance rides and have recently developed a love for off-road riding, both on gravel and mountain bike. Although I'm not particularly keen on following a set training plan, I try to get out as much as possible during the week and try to fit in a few longer rides on the weekend.

FAVOURITE MODALITY:
Recently my favourite riding has been on the MTB. Although I've been riding road bikes my entire life, I am now enjoying the freedom and excitement on the mountain bike a lot more. Especially since I can use my mountain bike both on technical trails and on the longer gravel rides.

FAVOURITE TRAIL:
I love riding in the mountains, the views and silence always make me want to come back. Probably one of my favourite areas to ride is around Ripoll, it's relatively close to Girona and there are so many options to go into the mountains.

FAVOURITE FOOD:
A good plate of pasta goes a long way.

SPIRIT ANIMAL:
I would say a cat, being able to be completely relaxed and not care about a thing in the world, whilst at the same time being very fit when it matters is probably something (I like to believe) I can do.

MY BEST ADVENTURE:
Riding my bike in Morocco at the Atlas Mountain Race in 2020. It was an experience I will never forget.

MY DREAM TO BE FULFILLED:
Acquiring a small cottage in the mountains and live there comfortably during the year.

FUN FACT ABOUT ME:
Whenever I buy dark chocolate, it is very likely it will be finished during the same day.
