I'm sticking to the plan!

Jaysus, the racing season is in full swing and if I'm not careful I'll miss out on all the XC and XCM events! But of course life is hard and it's quite difficult to allocate time and sources to racing. I'm absolutely dying to race again, especially because I would be racing in the Hungarian field after a decade. 

So, am I planning? Sure, just as always! I have my eyes on a couple of XCM races and it would be amazing if I could do 1-2 of them. I'm being focused and I'm putting the training in...now, that isn't too much these days unfortunatelly but still, feeling good on the bike and the motivation in through the roof!  

We'll see what is it gonna be enough for, I hope I can test the legs soon! :)

Training spin with my Dad

Wow, how cool is that?! We had a training spin together with my Dad this evening! The last time cycled together was about 10 year ago, so needless to say how nice it was to go for a spin together after all this time.

We used to cycle a lot together and we did a fair amount of racing together as well back in the day. Now I'm living in Hungary we have the chance to refresh things. 

It was great to see him back on the bike. I'm very proud to say that I have a Dad who is 62 years of age and still fit and in a very good shape. All we need to do is a few more spin like this and then we might even plan some marathon racing towards the end of the summer. 

That would be 100% brilliant, hah?! 

Summer evening MTB spins are awesome!!

#summer #bonedrytrails

Welcome home dude!

A good mate of mine is home from Ireland for his hollier. Of course he brought the bike home, so we wasted no time: we teamed up for a savage rip around the local hills! Proper summer XC spin it was with dusty dry trails and rock solid 34°C temperature. It was real shocker I have to say but what can I say? It's the Hungarian summer for you! :)  

Brutal steep climbs and super fast descents. We managed to absorb all of them with a pretty good pace and ended up to have a 40 km long spin and a good chat. The last time we were riding our bikes together was about 8 months ago, so this spin was well overdue. 

Thanks for joining for me Gyuszi, it was a savage bike ride!!
