KitzAlp Bike Festival

So I have just finished up a fantastic weekend at the KitzAlp Bike Festival in Austria. I performed in downtown Kitzbuhel on Thursday evening, taught a youth skills clinic on Friday, then another performance on Saturday at the Race. It was so much fun to ride a variety of obstacles for a change; I basically built a demo course out of spools, pallets, and beams and had a blast.

The Marathon race was 55 and 88km long, with over 1000 competitors, wow! The youth races on Sunday consisted of a technical trials style challenge in the morning, which determined their starting position. Check out the images for a taste of the challenges they had to negotiate. Love it!

Picked up my buddy Mark Bakker, former Norco web guru, in Kitzbuhel today, he’s busy back-packing around Europe and our paths crossed. We’ll travel for the next couple day with him.

Well, I’m going to Buggerhof until the next post….
