Last saturday the last run of the Harz-Cup took part. When we arrived I wanted to turn around and leave right away, it was only 8°C. I decided myself to do the middle distance, with about 100 starters. After a 10min long starting round, we were allowed to push the gear…

I placed myself right in the front to get a good position. The first hour I was arounf 4th place, for the second hour I rode for the 5th place and at the end I missed 3 seconds to defend this place.

I gotta fall asleep somehow. 6th place was absolutely allright for myself. The course was very nice to ride, and was a little bit from everything, long cliffy uphill parts, singletrails und long downhillparts until your hands were hurting from braking.

Next year for sure I`ll be back again...

greetings,

Thomas Zühlke
