Ötztal Cycle Marathon

From the classic Austrian ski resort Sölden, one of the toughest cycling races for amateurs starts and ends. We went there together with 4000 other avid cyclists to take on the four mountain passes in South Tyrol. I lie in the bathtub in the hotel room. The water is so hot that you have to walk in really slowly, warming my wounded body after the race. My memory of the last climb, the one from the Italian side up towards Timmelsjoch is blurred. I remember how the sweat runs down from my forehead, the bike computer no longer showing double digits and that my legs are close to cramping and my stomach aches. The beautiful views I can see from the images now in hindsight, I have only fragmented memories of. But maybe we should take it from the beginning. 4000 avid cyclists It is the first Sunday in September and we are in the classic Austrian ski resort Sölden. It is still dark when we cycle from the hotel to the start where 4000 avid cyclists have gathered. The air is fresh, the speaker encourages the participants to wave their arms in the air and tries to keep the ...

#RideItOut, castelli, turbo, Zwift - April 17, 2020

Thousand Drips of Sweat

One more mile. One more minute. One more second. One THOUSAND more drips of sweat. Done! During this time, when most of us are staying inside to #rideitout, it’s essential to not only take care of our bikes but our kit as well. The cycling kit is an investment and requires the same amount of care as we give our bikes. Even indoors, we make sure our chain is well lubed, and gears are tuned to maximize performance. Cycling kit can also maximize your performance with its breathable fabrics and comfortable chamois— so we want to take care of these as well. If you are anything like me, by the end of your Zwift/trainer session, the towel on your stem, the floor under your bike, and YOU are soaked: Chamois. Socks. Baselayer. Shoes. I even looked down yesterday and saw two lines of sweat on either side of my bike coming out of my SHOES! Like most people, after I hop off the trainer, I try to get out of my soaked chamois as quickly as possible and get cleaned up. Once you’re out of your chamois, it’s important to either get it right into the washer or ...
