That day in Buchholz, almost every rider of HH and of every race class met itself to race for the Championships of Hamburg.
The forest was quite hilly and really angled, so you almost get dizzy and you really had to push hard on the uphill sections.

Small female MTB-rider member of the Team Pirate When I was still in school in 2002, I began my career with a MTB by riding CC-races. In my first season, I ended up on the first place in the youth ranking. Because I didn´t like the short races really much, because they´re to hard, I tried myself on long distance races. And at dual or fourcross-events. These were quite more stress free. Caroline Pasedach
