Yesterday was recovery day, so 1-2 hours light riding for the riders only. For me it meant washing bikes, as the riders was out riding, I washed the truck, and went on to the bikes as they returned.






Today it rained.... So at it again :facepalm:

With the season well under way, the team has got a good start. At least one podium finish in each race we entered... So we are all in good spirits, Today I applied for a position as a freelance national team mechanic, a job that I would love so much! around 50 travel days a year to international races and championships, I love it! Please pick me....

Is it a picture from this years Ronde van Vlaanderen? No it´s a picture of the GP. Herning that our team attended yesterday. Nicknamed a Spring day on the Moor the race is 186 km whereof 30 km is gravel roads in small and larger sections. It´s reminiscent of the Strade Bianche in Italy.

The picture shows me ready with spare wheels, as the breakaway zooms past.

The riders gave it their all...









A weeks preparation of wheels and bikes went in to this race.
