Triple Update

Rainy race in Stade: As mentioned, last Saturday we had another stage of the Northern league in a small town called Stade. 10km - and as the forecast threatened, it rained all afternoon. Well once you are wet it is not much of a problem anymore, so I still did enjoy the race. Happy with my performance, except the start (general problem), chose the wrong side and then got caught between people. But after that caught back up several skaters, had a nice escape, finally got third in the group's sprint, 33rd overall. Here's a picture of me during my breakaway...
In the northern league, our team is now 6th out of 13 teams. This will probably also be our final position, since there's only one stage left.
Mirror bus returns to Hamburg: Yesterday we one again hosted a workshop with Sebastian Baumgartner of Experts in Speed, where he used his famous mirror bus to help people improve on their skating. It was a nice and long session, finally we got kicked off the track by security (joke, he was a very nice guy!). Thanks to all who participated and helped during this day, great one!
RollerEnLigne interview: The french site has posted an interview about our recent Le Mans experience, feel free to check it out.
Next up on the calendar is our annual trip to London, to take part in the marathon and enjoy the beautiful city. Next update afterwards.
