I love racing and that is what I train for. I do long endurance races with an adventurous twist. See my always updated race calendar here, follow me on social media and subscribe to my newsletter to get timely updates.
Rad am Ring
It’s a 24 hour race on the legendary Nürburgring race track in Germany. The track is 26 km long, has got 92 turns and offers 560 meters of difference in altitude. It both contains the “Fuchsröhre” descent where up to 100 km/h have been measured, and the steep ascent to the section “Hohe Acht”, with a temporary gradient of up to 17 %. There’s gonna be a lot of riders and a great “Formula 1”-like atmosphere.
Marmotte Ultra Fondo
I’ve done this classic fondo a few times before, and thought I was done with it. But when the organizers for their 40th anniversary edition in 2021 released an “Ultra Fondo”… the ultra in me was trickered.
These cols are on the menu:
Col de la Croix de Fer 31km (5.1% average), Col du Télégraphe 11.5km (7.3% average), Col du Galibier 17.6km (7% averag and the Alpe d’Huez 13km (8% average) twice. Yes I have to climb the Alpe two times.
6500 meters of vertical gain.
