the final training tour to the Garajonay, the highest elevation at 4879 ft./1487m, is planned for tomorrow.AND NOW FOR THE BOOTY THAT I WILL BRING BACK FOR YOU: The "Blutsventje News-Film" with the descent into the Valle Gran Rey, on CD at no cost for the first 10 Blutsventje fans that order by email (it's free for everyone else too)...

...and for the Blutsventje followers, the offer to immediately begin to explore the path to spiritual enlightenment together with Osho-Kundalini-Meditation...Thanks to Frank Joerder of 4Benefit, www.4benefit.de, for this comment: "Ubi, don't just train rigorously and methodically, don't forget the fun factor…" and to Detlef, Stephan and Patrick of the bike station Gomera, www.bike-station-gomera,com, that reliably stood by my side through broken spokes and an abnormal break pad abrasion…

Special thanks to my bride "Terrace-Philipp", www.atlanticcycling.de, who can be seen in action on the cover of the new "bike" issue 02/06 that comes out on January 10, and was involved in the All-Mountain-Bike-Test and the Training-Special on La Palma… And to Petra Wonisch, www.canary-bike.com, that is bringing the whole MTB-marathon-world to Gran Canaria for the Open-MTB-Marathon on March 18, 2006...

Greetings to Katrin Schwing, www.katrin-schwing.de, and Matthias Ball, who bend the racing bike cranks on Gran Canaria, to my Pirate sister Nina "Inner-tube-less" and Gregor, who are striking terror into people's hearts with their racing bikes on Mallorca and to Tina and Jan, who are plundering buffets on Mallorca… and to everyone else too!!!
