A short introduction for Kai and Andreas,

the Swabian Pirates

Kai (the one with the short hair)
- lives in Göppingen, at the edge of the Swabian Alp
- he shuffles his jobs to make more time for biking
- there isn't much time for hobbies outside of biking
- he rides about 6215-9320m/10000-15000km a year, to show off the Pirate gear
- he is planning to ride in these marathons: in April, the middle distance in Müsingen on the Swabian Alp; in May, Kirchen Hausen, near Freiburg; and in Juli, the long distance (2500 starters) in Albstadt and the Transalp-Challenge from Füssen to Lake Garda.



Andreas (the one with the growth on his head)
- I live in Esslingen, near Stuttgart
- I also juggle things around to make time for biking
- my annual output is about 9320m/15000km as well, despite being 9 years Kai's senior
- the marathon schedule is similar to Kai's, except for Müsingen in April
- I rode the Transalp-Challenge in 2006 and finished in Limone, after 59h
- I relax with the help of my cute girlfriend Alex and loud music



General information: in August 2007, Kai and I rode the Trans-Black-Forest in Pirate gear for the first time and tested it in every capacity. Congratulations! The cycling pants are awesome, especially the seat cushions. No chafing, absolutely recommendable, especially for frequent riders and for a reasonable price. We are currently testing the long-sleeved shirts in the cold weather. A layer or two underneath makes it warm, cuddly, very comfortable and we needn't even mention the coolness-factor.

The Swabian Pirates!
