Finale Harzer MTB-Cup Endurothon in Schierke 28.08.10
It didn´t stopp raining all the whole arrival, temperaturs felt like 8degrees, when I arrived in Schierke and weren´t motivated very much. The course is really ambitious, but with rain it ´s a really lust killer. I promised my friends to ride a long distance, but under this weather conditions I only did the middle distance again. Well, put on the rain jacket, topcoat over the bike shoes, finger gloves and the thick leg warmers and ready to start. Sometimes during the race,you were to see the sun.


Despite all this, it was muddy, slippery and wet, I finished 17th in my age-group and 57th overall, but I made it and weren´t wining at the hardest race, north of the Alps.
Okay, next year, when the sun is shining, I´ll do the long distance.



Thanks a lot to the photographs Drea and Marcus for the wonderful pictures.
