My first crash on Scott Addict






Watching the professional cyclists crashing from time to time and then just getting back on the bike again, I thought how could they do it.
Well today I also had a crash in the rain, falling on my head (thanks to my helmet nothing broke), but the knees and the hips got a little bit bloody.
And…I got back on the bike to ride another 20 km back home.
(Telling my coach he said, that is nothing, when professionals crash it is not 20 km/h but 50 km/h). Oh, I see!

Ride to the Kyburg Castle

Switzerland is celebrating International Workers' Day as more than 80 other countries do.“ The “May Day” is a celebration of the international labour movement.
I used this national public holiday, for a ride around Winterthur, the 6th biggest City of Switzerland. By mistake I saw a sign with the name “Kyburg Castle”.  After a 30 min climb up from the river Töss, I arrived at this every feudal castle that is now a museum.
