Heaven on earth.
Once again I can start my blog by saying, long time no hear. Normally when I say that, it is due to being too busy, but this time I have actually been busy doing nothing. Well at this time of year circus mtb makes their biggest stunt of the year by throwing all the cards up in the air, nobody knows where they will be for the next season, it allways gives everybody some uncertainess, and this year was no mistake, same procedure as last year.
The uncertainess is the uncoolest part of the bike-business, and for me it sometimes can take a toll. This year it was extreme, and the toll it took on me was extreme, so I really had some bad days, and the biggest support is my longtime girlfriend. Writing my blog was’nt highest priority.
It this moment things starts to brighten, and the big puzzle starts to show a picture, it is definatly not that everything is set, but the biggest bricks are there, and that’s the most important.
I have also started training again, well I did’nt actually stop, I hate not using my body, but now I have started training after planned programmes again.
This weekend was pretty tight sceduled, and right now it is a quarter past midnight tuesday, and the weekend is’nt over. It started saturday morning where I did a training-clinic with a danish mtb-club, after that I went home, changed clothes, packed a clean bike in the trunk and went to Osnabrück Germany. Sunday morning I teamed up with our Netherland-dirstributor, to make a presspresentation for the dutch market, it was pretty cousy, and we made some good footage on some cool local trails, the day ended close to midnight. Sunday morning I went training in Germany, I was pretty tired, so discovering a small bit of heaven on earth was the big prize of the day. The trails of Bad Iburg (osnabrück) is unknown, but really worth the effort to visit. That gave me some extra energy, and some inspiration to this blog. After training I packed the car and drove to Hamburg and stayed the night.
Tuesday morning, really morning, I went by plane from Hamburg to stuttgart to meet some new interesting people for our company, and have coffee with my old teammate Jochen Käss. Jochen has made a Barista course, and now makes the best coffee in town. I also had some good time with my long time friend and mechanic Eddy, who was kind enough to drive me around to the people I needed to see.
21.40 I flew back to Hamburg to pick up my car and go home, and here I am 00.36 wednesday, sitting on the ferry, waiting to do the last stint of driving.
Pheeew, time goes by.
Gentlemen, start your engines!
