It's Raining Bronze

Written by Stroopwafel at 12:30 30/4-2015

  Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper and the addition of other metals (usually tin) and sometimes arsenic, phosphorus, aluminium, manganese, and silicon. These additions produces an alloy much harder than copper alone. The historical period where the archeological record contains many bronze artifacts is known as the Bronze Age.
  
  Stroopwafel is starting a museum:
  3 - Ronde van Zuid-Holland (Coby Witherspoon)
  3 - Hermanus-Cape Town (Crispin Walraven)
  3 - Besiktas - Fenerbahce - Galata (Coby Witherspoon)
  3 - Ronde van Limburg (Halvor Benjaminsen)
  3 - Haugesund Rundtur (Menno van Dalen)
  
  Oh and our best result this season:
  2 - Los Angeles Pursuit (Udo Brøkaway)
