Tuesday November 20: Pubquiz at Loburg 20:00 Do you think you re the smartest Hellingproof in town, but have no way to prove it? Now is you re chance during the Hellingproof pubquiz at tuesday November 20! However be aware: not all questions will be about Hellingproof so you might also want to consider studying from some school books the coming weeks. Rider of the week(s) This weeks rider of the week(s) is Thijs Zonneveld. I now hear you say: Why? Thijs Zonneveld is not a member? Well, Thijs Zonneveld found out that he wasn t able to win any races without help. So he searched for help and just before the beach race in Hoek van Holland/Den Helder, he came along our praeses Bas. Fortunately, Bas always makes sure that he brings spare Hellingproof socks to his races and he was so generous to give a pair to Thijs for the race. During the race, Thijs knew that there were some metabolic changes happening in his legs. He instantly realized that this was due to our Hellingproof socks and he went on the attack and managed to grab the win. As you can see on the picture below, even after the race Thijs Zonneveld was still wearing the socks. Congratulations Thijs, and you re welcome! Thursday November 22: Fancy Lustrum dinner (dresscode!) Vila Brutus (Ede) 19:00 We will conclude our Lustrum weeks with a fancy diner at Vila Brutus in Ede.

For the dinner you can sign up here until November 20:
