Black Forest Ultra Bike 2011

After I´m defrosted again, I´ll write you theis small bulletin of my seasonal high, the Black Forest Ultra Bike 2011

 

Let me say to begin with, “RESPECT” to our Doro, 116km and 5th women in her age-group and 7th overall and all this under this weather conditions.

I show you a summary of the newspaper of Baden, just to show you the impressions of the pro´s of this contest…

Ice-cold-race in Kirchzarten

Ultra-bike-marathon: bestial and marginal

 

(Under the picture)

Rain, hail, wind and ice-cold temperatures forced everything from the participants of this contest, the 14th Ultra-bike-marathon, even the winners called it, bestial and marginal the race in the Black Forest….

 

I gotta say at this point…WIMPS, you even get mones for that and myself and 4700 others even paid for this…

 

Well, back to my bulletin... and my lovely Sunday excursion…

Everything started on friday, when I visited Doro and Jan on their camping site in Kirchzarten...building up the tents, before the upcoming rain.

On saturday we rode out for a small trip alongside the river Dreisam, it was really cozy and easy. Really cool, both of them…

Than everything started on sunday:

Doro rode the ultra with 116km, Jan and myself rode the marathon course with 77km, the course for the old, sorry Jan ;-)

At this point, I just let the pictures tell yu the story, like in a picture book:

When I´ll turn around at this point, I´m the first who crosses the finish-line.

Okay, I could show you some more pictures. And because of several times of a jammed chain, I could tell ya lots of cuss words, but I won´t tell you.

But, we rocked the forest, and got really dirty…

I think this is enough.

It was quite nice to meet Doro and Jan. Ulli and his mate, I just met shortly before the start, but I´ll see him again in Albstadt.

Also we got Jan Ramsperger and Ellet Phil, both of them rode on a tandem, you should see the pictures at www.sportograf.de  they both are awesome, crazy like this are only PIRATES.

By the way, my time was 5:13h and a few seconds, faster than in the last year, so Pletttenberg, here I come...

P.S. The time of the winner was 2:58h, and he was only that fast, because he froze all the way, and not to forget…WIMP…
