Waldhaus Bike Marathon 14.06.09 and Black Forest Ultra Bike
Marathon 21.06.09
Salute altogether,
the last two weekends were quite a sign of the Blackforest(Schwarzwald).On
the 14 of june I started on an event, what was co called an
“insiders tip” of the MTB-scene between Swiss(there were so
much of them), Alb and Lake Constance(Bodensee).
Righ, a t in the footsteps of Sabine Braun: the Waldhaus Fun
Bike Marathon.
42 k´s and about 900 altitude. I gotta say to you, a dreamlike
course, with fantastic weather conditions and a wonderful
sightseeing of the Alps(sadly I couldn´t take some pictures,
while I was cycling)…a small, but real nice event, with about
700 participants…my time and my place…yeah, there was something,
I quite remember…
Like most of the others, I was a daylight-finisher…..J Link:
www.waldhaus-bier.de the link sounds good, doesn´t it....
After a hard week of work, I went on the 21 of june to Kirchzarten,
to a sharp contrast event. The Black Forest Ultra Bike Marathon…there
were 77 k´s and 2000m of altitude. Perfect weather conditions,
the Black Forest were free of snow…about 6°C in Hinterzarten.
More than 450 bikers enjoyed themselves on the trails and
in the idyll of the Black Forest
It was my 4th MTB-Race – the race…I don´t wanna talk about
it…but I finished after 5:08 very satisfied and proud, how
you can see…..
Just a small greet to Jonas Hilbrecht from Todtnau…hy, I didn´t
C-ya...just found ya in the list of results – respect – maybe
we´ll see us in Furtwangen !! ....someone from the supporters
told me, that they´ve seen a tandem-team with a Pirate-Flag,
who drove from the finish-area to the small town near by…was
it you???…S M I R K…
Salute
Thomas
