Another edition of the Engadine bike marathon, this was fun - although we got rained on. 4h for 97 km ... with a few minutes break. We're getting faster.

DBF pulled a pack of 8 for about the last 20-30 km on a light down hill, at 40+ kph. That was fun! but I had trouble hanging on. He's getting really strong. He always waits for me on top of the ascents.

We have this "joke" team name (the racing arm warmers) that we register under (unless I run for the tri club) and we both crossed the line simultaneously and they called us out. That was funny.

Awesome! Looks like a lot of fun (and great pics, too). :D

The racing arm warmers- love the name!

Ya know, this was the final test to see what the new bike can do, and I didn't get the cramped back anymore going uphill - must be the fit. I'm satisfied.
