Heubach Bundesliga - Germany

hey there, unfortunatelty Sunday was another tough day for me at the hors category Bunbesliga XC race at Heubach. The course was bloody tough with one blutal climb followed by a long slippery descent creating a piramid of a course profile. We were to do 8 laps (which would have been an epic race) so i tried not to blow for the first 4 laps. i was starting to think about ramping it up for the last half when i got pulled...4 laps down in 26th. rubbish. Anyway, it was a fun course and most of the field got lapped. It was quite a nice weekend too, we stayed in the nearby town of Schwarbish Gmund were we met a nice Italian lady called Isha, in the restaurant we ate at twice. She is also allergic to gluten so she & her boyfriend, Jan, invited us for a nice dinner after the race. Authentic Itatalian gluten-free pizza, well tasty.

We are back in Annecy now for a quick catch up with Yohann, Estelle and Aurelien. We fly to Madrid today.

Hey Andy keep up your spirits they said this on cnews.com

"It's maybe the toughest race we do," said Absalon, who looked at his bike's computer and noted that he had climbed 1600m during the eight laps.

Awesome you're giving it a shot!
