5 days in europe and we love it!
Firstly check out our new bling for our bikes Carbon Citec wheels!!
(Karle and Katie)(haha)
Wednesday night was a late arrival it was not until after 1.30 in the morning we reached our accommodation, a really neat old castle converted to a hostel!
However every thing went perfectly and our car met us at the airport and our thule bike rack fit perfectly with the bikes.
We woke nice early thanks to jet lag and enjoyed a full breakfast before heading to Black Forrest in Germany to where we would be staying for the next week.Joe and Katrin arranged everything for us to stay with their parents Karle and Annemarie There home is lovely and they have spoilt us over the past few days. Black forrest is the perfect training ground with mountains and the optional flat recovery ride with the amazing Offenburg World cup track a short drive away.
This is Thomas our dinner time translator
On Saturday and Sunday we watched the world cup as we mentioned we felt it was a good choice for us not to race, as one could easily make a mistake at a race of that level and with jetlag it was not a risk we wanted to take so early in our plan. We learnt a lot from watching, it is not often you get the chance to watch your own race and see what it takes to be the winner of the world cup!!! So it was a valuable trip. We also got to support fellow kiwi´s Sam Shaw, Karen Hanlan and Rosara Joseph!
We have had some great training here and are looking forward to tomorrow where we will have our last hard session in black forest on the world cup tarck before leaving Wednesday morning back to Switzerland. Where we will be staying with Katrin in Adliswil, Switzerland which is not too far from our first Swiss cup in Granichen! Can´t wait to race!!!! <<<< Evans crew
Will keep every one updated!!!!
