Dieses Wochenende ist Sea Otter Classic... Quasi nochmal Ostern, für Gravelbikes, MTB's und Bikes generell ^^

Bin schon gespannt, was da vielleicht so an coolem Zeug vorgestellt wird.

Yo guys and gals... Cape Epic starts this Sunday! Stop hurting and crashing yourselves out of the race prematurely and rather post nice setups, special paint jobs and bonus points for new tech or even new bikes or prototypes.

(although no rider and no team will be on Mastodon anyways to read that here...)

Bike and this time especially wheels and tires appreciation post.

I’ve now ridden exactly 1076 km with those XMCarbonspeed D53TU-41 rims mounted on DT Swiss 350 boost hubs. I set those up last autumn end of October.

At the same time I mounted the Schwalbe Thunder Burt Super Ground Addix Speed 29x2.25“. I like them both. :)

Atlas Mountain Race is fakenews. Hasn't really happened yet. Still too fresh.

Any content from it still needs to mature. Like good cheese. Kyrgyz cheese, in fact.

Yes. Like Kurut! 😅

So here is my well cured day 11 report of the last Silk Road Mountain Race. 😉😄

Exactly one month to the Absa Cape Epic now. The next event on my "fun and eager to follow" list.

And: always the event to spot new stuff / bikes or at least cool special paint jobs.

Itching to pull the trigger on a bike for the Taurus Mountain Race but will wait whether something is in the works for the odd brand with overdue model-renewal...

Post Trainer ride Cappu with accidentally not terrible Latte Art.

And w/o any effort, I might add.

Not that it would get better _with_ effort, mind you. ;-)
