Race against the clock
The team of Astron buildings took part to an endurance cycling challenge in Wentger (L). For 24 hours the 9 members of the Astron cycling team rode in relay with one rider on course at a time and no restrictions on when you can change that rider.
On a total of 83 teams they finished at the 38th place. Taking into consideration that some groups of riders are belonging to continental teams the Astron group realized an excellent result. Congratulations to all who joined the Astron Buildings team: Malou LANNERS, Filipe ALVES, Thierry DEGUELDRE, Colin BOUQUANT, Thomas SCHÜTZ, Didier KEUS, Fabrice DENOULET, Pascal BEYAERT and Jean-Pierre GUTENKAUF. A great day and night in the saddle for all who took part.
Pascal BEYAERT (picture below) stated: “We had nice weather during the whole race, excepted for one hour and it was the hour that I biked between midnight and 01:00 AM. This annual event is a real great experience to live and to share. We are expecting the 2017 edition to make it even better.”
Thierry DEGUELDRE added: “It was a good opportunity to spend time with colleagues outside the office. This is my second participation in the race and for the second time, a rewarding experience, everybody has been working hard!”
