In this podcast we interview Jasper Verkuijl. Jasper started with BMX racing when he was 5 years old following in the footsteps of his big brother. He ended up racing BMX at a very high national and international level until his early twenty's. We talk about getting in to flight-school and road racing which brought him amazing adventures and experience racing in the US and the Netherlands both at Elite (P,1,2) level. What are the differences between racing in the US and the Netherlands?
We talk about balancing his racing, work, family and a popular youtube channel. An amazing insight in the life of Jasper and his cycling fanatics community.

P.s. Tip! Listen to the birds whistle ;-)

From Jasper:
What's Up Cycling FANATICS!

Welcome to my channel where you will find video's about rides and races in a lot of different places all around the world! I make Vlogs & video's with tips and tricks on training, maintenance, riding etc.

Until now I've been riding my road bike in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Curacao, Seoul, Hongkong, Sydney, Mallorca, Denmark, France and off course The Netherlands.

I started cycling when I was 5, on a BMX bike. I've been racing BMX for many many years and had great accomplishments. Including podium spots on European and World Championships, of which I'm really proud of. I have transferred to the road bike in 2013 and only started racing road races last year! (2017).

Mapmeisters Podcast Aflevering 26

We zijn deze aflevering te gast bij Margo de Vries, directrice van de KNWU, op Papendal. Volgens Margo is dat 'de mooiste werkplek van Nederland'. Hoe dat precies zit, dat legt ze graag uit. We hebben het over haar liefde voor het fietsen, die ooit begon met een duik in het diepe: zonder noemenswaardige voorbereiding deelnemen aan de Amstel Gold Race. Verder willen we graag weten wat de KNWU betekent voor wielrenners anders dan de profs, wat zijn de ambities? Margo vertelt er alles over: van de veranderende rol van de KNWU tot het nieuwe trainingsprogramma Fondo en haar eigen favoriete rondje. En wat zijn haar keuzes tijdens het Vragenvuurtje?
