Hard Ride, tire damage, nice climb !





Well, well, I have to admit that since I started working fulltime, my planning skills got little lousy. Yesterday, I had an appointment with an airbrusher for discussing the helmdesign 2007. I went there by bike, including this into my longride. All of a sudden, I forgot, when he'd be closing that afternoon. I was forced to ride "really, really hard" all the way to Altendorf (SZ) and overloaded my system with an hour of fast pedalling. Well, the good thing was, I'm still able to ride pretty fast, the maybe not so good thing was, that I shouldn't touch those intensities yet.... The definitely shitty thing - by no question!!! - was that I rode over some cracked beer bottle, sclicing my rear tire and tube big time.

For gods sake, there was a bike shop nearby. Those guys were really friendly, giving my spares and everything with an invoice, so I could continue with my ride.

I chose to climb the Sattelegg - a 10k's gradual climb up to 1100 m above seelevel. It was the first time for me to do so in January, because normally there's snow up there - but who's talking about normal in this winter so far?!!

Anyway, after an hour's hard ride a hard climb went really well. Thinking about some kg's to loose until summer and some shape improvements, I'm nicely on track!!

I'm really psyched about that designer helmet. I made the design myself and have it airbrushed by a pro. I have a new headsponsor and his brand will crown my head. I'll post a picure of it, as soon as I have it back.

So, that's it. The forecasts sound baaaaaaad - snow, scattered showers, colder temps. Hmm, we'll see.

Stay tuned and eat that soup out nicely - maybe, we're lucky and have some additional spring time!
