My season preparations will begin at Club La Santa, Lanzarote at the end of January. I’ll be participating at the 2 stage mtb-race being held 29th and 30th of January. The races mark the beginning of the event week from 28th of January to 3rd of February, where mountainbike will be the theme, so this is a good way to prepare for the races during summer.

The weather conditions will be perfect and the life at Club La Santa is fantastic for relaxing when not training See you there? Check out my post from last year’s training camp at Club La Santa.

“Fall Race” turned out to be more “winter race”!.. The beautiful forest near the coast of Tisvilde got covered in snow just a few days before the race, so everywhere there was the virginity of untouched snow. (more…)

Next season I’ll be an Easton Rocket!.. I’m thrilled to join my new team and I’m really looking forward to new adventures (more…)

2010 was an excelllent year! 2011 will be even better

Right now I’m planning next season. I can tell this much, that I’ll be riding for a german team with focus on the German Bundesliga and the World Cups. When everything is signed, I’ll let you all know more It’s going to be great!

The next issue of “CykelMagasinet” is on its way. Check it out to read more of my skewed season 2010 reflections..

The season is over now and I enjoy a great ride with only one aim: to enjoy the sun, the cool breeze and the road in front of me:)

I’m not going to the World Championships on the road in Australia after all. Due to my broken finger it was very difficult to make the necessary preparations and so the decision was not to go. A World Championship demands for the best possible preparations, otherwise it is not worth going.

It was a tough decision and that left me with the feeling “was that really it, is my season over?”

Since my returning from Canada a few weeks ago, I’ve been really busy with my studies, so luckely that has filled in the emptiness, that might otherwise would have been. The doctors have adviced me not to train on my mountainbike for another week and a half, so right now I spend the sparse time I have for training at spinning classes and doing some weight lifting. With all the rain, a sore hand and diffuculties to brake I found it dangerous to go on the road.

When I’m able to ride properly, I hope to find a race to end my season! In that way, I’m the one to decide when my season is over and not an accident, that forces me to it..

Enjoy fall colors and windy sunshine

I’m now back in Denmark after the world championships in Canada. Overall I managed to finish 19th with a broken finger!
