My name is Matthias Haussener, called “mat”.
I’m from Gurzelen/Switzerland and my age is 34
I work as Systems Architect in a small IT Company.
I’m married to my lovely wife Sabine.

Today almost more than doing races I love riding some multi-day mountain bike tours. My highlight here is the Colorado Trail ride in 2006 from Denver to Durango without carriage or car support.
I’m a newbie on a 29-er. But I like my Gary Fisher Superfly very much. The next few weeks, the bike will get some diets to loose weight. Then it should be ready to do racing with me. I hope to get myself in good shape too in 2009 and not to disappoint the BWR guys.
My goal is to ride more mountainbike races again and hopefully to meet some members of the BWR team.
