Ultra Talks
Thursday, January 23
Maats Utrecht, Twijnstraat 7
Doors open from 18:30h, talks start at 19:00h
Organised by Utrecht Ultra, this night is all about long distances! They’ve invited three experienced ultra-distance cyclists to share their stories and lessons from the (off-)road. Ins and outs, highs and lows, the fun, the pain, and everything in between—you’ll hear it all at Ultra Talks!
Our speakers are:
Julia Schopka. Experienced in off-road races such as Badlands, Bright Midnight and last “summer's” inaugural Alps Divide.
Jair Hoogland. Has finished many races and claimed top spots in a bunch of them, such as the Transcontinental Race, Unknown Race, Three Peaks Bike Race and VIA Race.
Belle de Gast. Ex-pro cyclist and cycling mayor of Utrecht. Rode Utrecht Ultra as her first ultra-distance race last summer and finished as the fastest woman.
The night is hosted by Ruben Platte, organiser of Utrecht Ultra and finisher at Three Peaks Bike Race and the Trans Pyrenees Race.
We end the night with a Q&A, so you’ll be able to ask all the things you’ve always wanted to know about riding ultras. Included in the fee are two delicious beers from De Kromme Haring (non-alcoholic available).
