About october!

hehehehe posting once a month was not the idea here ... I know!

October had some interesting things, besides the cold weather!

First, got a training "roll". Basically this stuff you put on the back wheel and turn your bike into a steady one :-) It's what I call "play the hamster". The good thing is that this way I know I'll train with no excuses and I can watch SciFi series while cycling!

Could not ride my road bike because of the weather, but I managed to ride the MTB with a brazilian friend that lives in Kassel (a nearby city) and with some friends we did a ride to the mountains, getting the train until the mountains, riding a bit there and train back home! It was very funny and relaxing!

In the picture we have me, Lucas (Brazil), Isabelle (Italy), Eirik (Norway) and Antti (Estonia).

Also managed to skate!! Yep!!! While it was still possible. One day I went to work with it ... got there really sore heuheuehueh and came back by bus :-)

Than a lot of work prevented me from doing anything for two weeks and now the weather is even worst. We had the first snow tonight (and today also), not enough to stay on the floor, but scary enough to be sure the winter has arrived ... so, counting the days to SPRING!!!

The news is the new climbing hall at the university. We've been there on the opening day on sunday, nice place, a bit expencive, but interesting. We've been there yesterday also, but did only bouldering (technical climbing to the side), since I don't have equipment to vertical climbing, which is the strong point of the place. Next week I'll try a friend's equipment! :-)

Enough for today! This weekend I'll try to write a text on cycling in 2006, my impressions ... let's see if I manage.
