GOODBYE ROAD SEASON

winter is coming with giant steps, no chance to get some training miles after work so it's time to get back to the track.
here are some nice pictures from this summer and tonights training session at the Albert Richter Bahn in Cologne.

VELODROME IN COLOGNE

albert-richter-bahn in cologne, just besides the football stadium. it's really fun to ride here, the tracks are really steep, up to 43°. always scary for the first few rounds, but you get used to it.
the pictures don't really show the steepness, but check the picture I found on milano fixed.



if you're from cologne and you are interested in track cycling, contact me or visit RC Adler, the cycling club I'm riding for.
