When riding a race in the middle of October, it can get pretty
chilly, but we never thought it would be this cold. The thermostat
in our car showed 36.5°F/2,5°C. We didn't even want to get
out. In addition, the announced relay had been turned into
a team competition and we all had to ride at the same time
- so no waiting for it to warm up...
Our team was made up of 2 Pirates and one non-Pirate that
we've been trying to convert. However, this failed due to
the lack of jerseys.
.We started at 10 o'clock, along a beautiful, but technically
difficult, track that was topped off by two creek crossings
and a nice step at the end:
Unfortunately, we had to wait for the award ceremony for so
long that our third teammate had to go home already, which
brought down our mood a little, since we were going to spend
the rest of Sunday in Büchel together.
But first, we had a little fashion show,
while a couple of boys showed us that you can do other things
with bikes, aside from pedalilng through the woods...
Of course, we didn't have a chance against Bonne,
but he rode another race too, so that we finally did end up
on a podium:
