Vitesseland - Geography, Culture, Lifestyle

Now that the Land of Vitesse or Vitesseland has received a wild card invitation to the World Cycling Championships in Switzerland, the insatiable media spotlight shines on this curious land. According to Wikipedia, Vitesse is a football club based in Arnhem, Netherlands. But this is only part of the wonderful story of Vitesseland...
This small semi-mountainous area in the Northern Hemisphere takes its name from the French word for speed. Many of its picturesque roads are paved thanks to the benevolence of Johan the Omniscient. Under his tutelage, great cyclists are molded and formed in a pure cycling culture. With an increasing population of coffee drinkers, Vitesseland has become a vibrant land of peaks and valleys. Its mostly temperate climate encourages a fast easy going lifestyle. For more information visit Vitesseland.com.
