Alee (@cyclingabout - not here) made a nice video on the aspects of what makes a fast and comfortable (as comfort is fast) Atlas Mountain Race bike on basis of the 2026 Rigs: https://youtu.be/KLt442zHCks?si=zV73UEW0Csy0o5_7

Check it out if f you like to hear and see in a concise form what I'm telling you since before the inaugural edition.

And helped inform quite some participants as I know from your feedback over the years. Always grateful when you reach out, guys. :)

Jenny always giving the hard, but worthwhile read for ongoing stuff....

Also great content warning: "WARNING: from now on, I’m going to talk about menstruation. If that is a problem for you, and bless your innocent little patriarchal heart if it is, you may want to leave now."

Fireblood on the Atlas

Racing the AMR and the worst period I ever had

The Ultra Trail

Wow, compared to Victor yesterday, Cynthia looks chill, and is pretty talkative after 1400k of racing. Even able to lift her bike. šŸ˜„

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that as usual I posted a few tidbits and comments about the Atlas Mountain Race 2026 unfolding. Which has a podium since last night. Today I posted this short look into the first 5 (6) and how crazy close this edition was:

#amr2026 Cyntia Carson ist auf den letzten Kilometern. Fritz Meinecke hat die 1000km geknackt.

Almost.
What reminds me, what are Robin Gemperle and Alex McCormack doing these days?

(Justinas is preparing for Iditarod...)

Ach krass. Bosoni hat das Ding deutlich für sich entschieden.
4d 1h 46m hat er für die 1.432 km gebraucht. Wahnsinn.
Und Smisethjell ist noch unterwegs.
