Piraten + Fuerteventura + Basic Training?

The whole thing on a racing bike?? That's totally do-able!!!
Captain Aalbörner and I met up in the Atlantis Suite Resort to roll into the 2007 season.
We had to shorten the pre-planned route distances a bit, because we had underestimated the wind and overestimated our physical fitness. At 9:30am, our eyes constantly on our pulses, we started our day with backwind, knowing full well that the wind would really screw up our averages on the way back. We spent a few pleasant hours on our bikes, having more or less intellectual conversations and calmly rolling along

9:30am in Corralejo


After a short while we had to retighten our chain rings and change our tires.


My house (see flag), my car, my bike...


After a long straight shot….


….there were some slight inclines


We also had some time to sunbathe…


…and practice our jumps...


Warning, this place is inhabited by…


…wild animals!!!!!!!


Triathlete training (flat, windy and the countryside?... mentally challenging)


One takes bread with cheese (Carsten'll quickly make it)+

A great week on Fuerteventura with our bikes


In February 2008 we will be repeating this whole thing within the framework of the Pirate Tours. If you're interested contact me, so that we can plan accordingly!
