Welcome to the FIFA World Championchip 2010 or the folding bike
WC 2010 in Pfronten… Gladness instead of sadness of reaching the
finals for the capt´n of the BSN-PIRATE-Team, Ubi Blutsventje,
at the folding bike WC in Pfronten. And I didn´t expect the 7th
overall place…
After a neutral start, we had to ride 6km and 640m of altitude
on the folding bikes.
Right in front of a fantastic mountain scenery the way found its
gravelled way in several curves up the Breitenberg. After the
problems at the WC last year from a too long conversion and a
broken frame, I now had a stronger frame and a 24er bevel.
In between, while the course had his most ascents and the deapest
gravel, you had to shove your bike and after the curve back on
the bike and push the throttle, becasue every meter counts, especially
on a WC.
It was a successful weekend for my folding bike pimping garage:
on three identical bikes, Steffi Hadraschek became folding bike
World champion and Michael Borchwaldt enjoyed himself over his
13th place, and myself were right in middle with my 7th place
and 48:43min and really satisfied as well. Kudos to the organizer
Hannes Zacherl for his unique fun event in line with the 7th MTB
marathon Pfronten at the 3/4th of july 2010.
