last year's winner Anja organised the race and it was so much fun! the race started at Bike Syndikat after a nice breakfast and the first beers and cidres. first checkpoint was Edu's Veloküche in Ehrenfeld, from there on racers hadt to go to 16 checkpoints throughout the city, you can find the route I took below.

VELOPOLO COLOGNE
sorry for not updating this blog for a long time, I've been busy doing other stuff.
christophe started a great blog for all the polo players a few months back and it really helped bringing people together. check it out here.
there are two jour fixes a week, wednesday evening and sunday afternoon. just stop by if you want to try it, you just need your bike. mallets, goals and balls are there.
check them out on german tv.
this weekend there are the german-qualifiers for the bikepolo world championship in berlin this year and cologne is sending two teams, so if you are in ffm this weekend, support your local bikepolo team!

BACK
I didn't post much over the past two months due to lack of motivation. cycling was not fun during this winter with all that snow, ice, cold feet, cold hands...
but I can feel the spring coming, I finished preparing my new roadbike and my new fixed whip is also nearly finished. I'll post some pictures of my bikes shortly, just like gaku did. (lovely bikes by the way!)
I heard rumors that there will be some bike polo action at the cycolonia exhibition end of march, I'll let you know about the details soon.
another interesting event this month is the stalen ros bicycle show in NEERKANT, NETHERLANDS. a show and marketplace(!) for pre 1980's roadbikes, check out the flyer:
found at rotterdam fixed gear
and this is an amazing video I just spotted over at prolly
