Stan Vermeulen

My passion for cycling started during my high school years with my first ride to Paris. From then on, I started with short bikepacking trips. The Veluwe nature reserve, the Black Forest, the Basque Country or the Strade Bianche area - for me, bikepacking is the most adventurous way to discover them all. The greatest moment? When you turn from tarmac to gravel and suddenly find yourself in a no man's land in the middle of nature. Going for kilometres on end in such peaceful surroundings, with an occasional coffee break of course, that is the complete picture I love most of all!
