Hello altogether,

Something went wrong with the weather, because the race in Willingen was all dry, it was like a complete new experience. Even without racing or exercising that much I ended up in the mid-field on the short distance

The next weekend the weather was allright in Wetter for the Ruhrbike festival, just the dark clouds seemed to threaten us. I was registered for the middle distance with 55km and 2000m of altitude.

If you like to ride single trails, you should participate here. Sadly I had a bad day…

Quite early in the race, I received some marks and spots and my right knee hurt really much.

Lots of greetings

Elvis
