My name is Freddie Dieperink and I was born in Haaksbergen (the Netherlands) on 21 February 1967. My hobby became my job. On a daily basis I train and I coach many sportsmen and –women, racing cyclists in particular. On both recreational and semi-professional level. Since 2003 I am an entrepreneur and since 2009 a very fanatic racing cyclist. In the meantime I am acting as a guide of cycling tourists on the island of Mallorca. I always missed professional guidance for sporting racing cyclists with a purpose over there. And that is what I would like to develop now together with Joop Ribbers. Therefore I found my company Forza Cycling Mallorca.
My name is Joop Ribbers. I live in Groenlo (the Netherlands) and I am already 50 years active in cycling. In the past I was winner of many international competitions as an elite-cyclist. Nowadays I am still active as veteran/master and in 2010 I even became world champion. I won “The Tour of Mallorca” for masters, a 5-days-stage-competition that takes place every year in October, five times. Mallorca is, apart from the “Achterhoek”, my most beautiful training environment. I almost know every hole in the road. I love to share my cycling experience,and also my technical and tactical notion. That is why I am very happy to develop Forza Cycling Mallorca, together with Freddie Dieperink.
My name is Fons de Visser and I was born in Arnhem on August 6, 1969. In daily life, I am the initiator of foundation ZindividU. This foundation acts as a guide for people who are diagnosed as "incurable ill". My passion is cycling. This passion I have for cycling is developed by Freddie. He has accompanied me in 2015 by trying to climb the Mont Ventoux for 3 times in 1 day. I'm a recreational cyclist who loves to ride a bike. My motto is; Relaxation through effort! This motto I can use well in guiding guests who love relaxation in Mallorca.
My name is Marcel van der Meij, am 54 years old and live in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). I started cycling when I was 11 and trained many miles and could cycle along nicely. When I was 16 I could not resist to start playing tennis (unfortunately). But as time went along I was missed cycling and joined the “Masters league”. At the moment I participate in the Masters league and cycle frequently on the beautiful Mallorca. I also find it a challenge to organize a nice and active bike holiday for our guests.
