2008 Season opening!

So, let the season begin!

Outdoor testing of me and my bike somewhere here (map).

I and my friend mich have experienced both snow, water, ice, ice under water and mud all around the forest. That was really coool!



Lots of broken trees, but some quick routes are still to find. On the other hand after a 30km ride across the city - forest is delicious. You feel you can BREATH!

We also met some bikers, riding through the forest of Pusha. It's a pity, but i don't know their names, anyway, bikers are always friendly :-D

Trees as they are, wanna see them whislting!




Me Happy! No more weekeind w/o riding ;-)

Cycling Trainer



It's winter time approaching, so high time to think of long winter evening. The best way, of course, is to train, to keep fit all the year round. Cycleops Magneto trainer is a solution for biking indoors. I've bought one yesterday and had a ride already!
So, what can I say after first test? You can enjoy riding, but have to buy proper tire. My current "slick" produces a lot of noise. Secondly, the quicker you go, the more resistance you get. It's a good solution not to think how much resistance you should put (progressive resistance). After having ridden 30 mins, i really feel it, as if i've ridden 30 mins, but on a flat road (i used 2-5 gear shifting -> almost in the center).
Oh, almost forgotten, it's small enough and you can use your own beloved bike for riding.
