How to...

... go on vacation ...

... while the baby is secured :D

Early spring...

Saturday I went for a ride on my favorite asphalt training route, to Balauseri. I've made a map of the route on bikemap.net (click here to see it).

The weather was perfect it was even a little to warm, I took my gloves off on the longer climbs. The road was   a bit wet and the side of the road was very dirty. I even slipped when a truck was passing me, luckily I managed to stop it and didn't end up under the truck :D

I got to Balauseri very fast it took me only 54 minutes (if I'm not mistaking I was doing 55 minutes with my road bike) so I'm looking forward for this season :D  I think the training on the trainer is very helpful and I can't wait to see how much time will it take me to get to Balauseri on my road bike. To bad the roads are still to dirty for the road bike...  I was feeling very good on the bike, it's been a long time since I went out with my spd shoes. I have a lot of power in my legs but I still have to work on increasing my stamina.

Stats:
    - time: 1:51:55
    - distance: 44,51 km
    - avg speed: 23,8 km/h
    - max speed: 56,8 km/h - I wanted to catch the magical 60 but with my mtb and offroad tires it was too hard :(

Feliz Navidad

La la

A lite song for this light weather :D  Tomorrow there will be 11 degrees Celsius!!! So I'll be on the E60 because the forest is muddy :)



"... everybody in the house loves to like the la la ..."

The song of the day

"The past is history, the future is mystery and today is a gift." 



And The Making of:

Good bye 2009, Welcome 2010!

I wish you a Happy New Year and many kilometers on two wheels!!!


2009 was an average year, with some bad parts and few good thing. The good thing from last year were a visit to Boston, buying a mtb, I started racing and a lot of cool rides. The main achievements were that I climbed the highest road in the country(Transalpina) and the famous Transfagarasan.

Stats for last year(about 4000 km):
    - 3516,7 km on my mtb bike
    - about 200 km on the trainer
    - a few hundred km on the road bike, the clock is now at 2463,3
    - and a few hundred kilometers on other bikes


My goals for this year are some longer rides(more than one day) and a podium finish   :D

Carbon...

Carbon is for the pros and for people with a lot of money... It is on my wishlist :D
