This year is not a good year for riding marathon races. First I had to cancel the race in Bad Wildbach, than I had a crash on anexercise unit on Friday before the race. Now my new skin is made of cuts and bruises.
But as you all know, Pirates don´t know any pain and so...cancelling the race was no option.
This years they offered a short distance race over 30km and 800m of altitude and so we decided to ride this distance. The start was at 11:20o´clock, it´s a really nice time, but we rode earlier to Neustadt to met Ubi and Michael who wanted to ride the middle distance
The course in Neustadt is really good and the single trails are superb. But I wasn´t able to hold my handle bar for real and so I decided not to hurry and to stay behind my brother.
On a single trail downhill passage, Christian had to test once the safety zone, but there was a hillside and so he slipped for a couple of meters.
Afterall nothing really bad happens, besides the loss of the bike computer, a few bruises, and some dirt all ver the body.
Just read the pictures...after the course measurement…
Chain mostright and lots of fun all you Pirates outthere...
