Travels more than two hours:
Several times a year since most of the races I attend are held in Germany and Belgium Most memorable ride: Last years Transalp Challenge together with my twin brother. This was our second Transalp and second year of training. In 2008 our goal was to simply finish the race, this year we had higher expectations and knew what to expect from the race.
We did not have any serious problems during these 8 days of racing and got stronger by the day. This year of training certainly paid off since we crushed our last years result by more than 80 places (116th) finishing 33rd.
We are quite pleased with the result and have already subscribed for the 2010 Transalp to improve our last years result again!
