22 – 7 – 1.000

Ausilia and Sebastiano did it! After 22 days, 7 minutes and 1.000 miles through Alaska they reached the finish line of the Iditarod Trail Invitational in Nome. Congratulatione from the team – you two are simply amazing!

Early Season in Berlin

And then here I am back to riding with Cafe Egal in Berlin. Chris, here in the front, has a sweet little cafe/bike shop with a name that roughly translates into Cafe “Who Gives a Shit.” Anyways, the Sunday group rides have started back up again now that I am back after Greek training camp, which will lead up to racing the Berlin Velothon in June with Cafe Egal.

2013 Training Camp Continued

And here is the view from 1100 meters over Thessaloniki after a 2.5 hour gnarly off road climb. Macadonia is like a poor man’s Catalunya!

2013 Training Camp Continued

Just a quick pic in my quickly fading 2012 BWRE Gear with the Macadonian mountains (playground?) in the background. Looking forward to some new gear this year!

2013 Traininglager

I spent two weeks in Greece between late february and early march 2013 and brought my 29er with me. Having a 29er with cross tires and a gps opened up some amazing routes I have been lusting after for years. In all I put in about 500 kilometers with around 8km climbing in 10 days of riding.

After a long 2012 that ended with 4 months of fast riding with the kansas state university team I took a couple months off and this camp was a great way to “wake up” for 2013. Looking forward to a great 2013!

Forza Ausilia e Sebastiano!

Our two friends from Italy right now work themselves through the Iditarod Trail Invitational in Alaska. Yes, Alaska. Yes, in March. And: It’s 1.000 miles long.

The two are doing an incredible job out there in the wilderness. Today they crossed the 350-miles-mark. Auslia and Seba – we are with you, you’ll make it!!!

Scared of the Dark? Don’t be with SuperNova

One of our wonderful sponsors has this cool new video advertising the Supernova Airstream light. Great for bars or helmets.

I should be sporting one for Schlaflos im Sattel this year too. Currently, I have a dyno powered E3 (off road model) light and absolutely love the ease of use and the fact that I NEVER have to worry about batteries running out.
