Tour de Krantz

This past weekend it was the Tour de Krantz MTB Race. It was my 3rd time taking part in this event and as usual it was fantastic! The course was amazing, even though I was racing I still had time to look at the superb views. The race is definately one I will always come back to because of the views and the course is for everyone. My mother went with this time and she enjoyed it just as much as us that cycled because of the markets they had there. It was a pure German experience(with bicycles).

As for my bike(BMC Fourstroke) it handled superbly and it was without a doubt the best bike on that course. I received my new RockShox xx fork from Motion Cycles on Friday. I know all the stories about changing bicycle components the day before a race, but this fork is truely amazing! I pumped it up and took it for a ride and wow did it surprise me! I couldn't thank my dad enough, so to thank him, I gave him a good race result. My bike felt so smooth on the uphills and the single tracks, the fourstroke and rockshox combination definately equals a fantastic ride.

I had a super afternoon eating some of the nice German sausages, the Metwurst is definately my favourite.

I came 10th overall and 1st in Youth cat. in the 45km.

Till next time
