Get the Flo (w)

Yes, that was the theme of Sunday's road bike training ride which is joined to my dear colleague and team member Sunclass Florian.

It the sun is shining, not a cloud obscures the sky, and after we went warm, quite fresh, the morning temperature is forgotten: only the tough head wind on my nerves. But we purely connect.

Or we say: Flo purely occurs.

You have to understand that since his crash at Münsterland Giro the circuit in the ass and he has only two gears: Large or small leaf blade. And there are indeed more like Flo on the slogan "I always give everything - and if that's not enough then just everything!" travels, he bolzt immediately by port, Harburg and burns a rubber track in the asphalt after Hoopte.

Hey, ho, I think I have real trouble and to stay tuned to Flo. "Get the Flo" is the motto, because despite the slipstream, it is extremely difficult to suck up to him and to keep a constant distance from the wind.

now and then - yes Flo is cycling gentleman of the old school - but he lets me lead times. Oh well, I prefer to slipstream past him, hang me in front of him and ... get stuck in the wind. Where did he tell me otherwise with 35, 36 km / h runs (with a hard head wind!) I have problems at all times for 1, 2 kilometers to keep the 32.

Well, that's just with the training differences.

And yet - one day he replaced me again, I crouch in his slipstream and trying to to come into a round turn: "Get the Flow" is now my motto. But how he does it, is beyond me. There he sits bent, occurs as if it were nothing better in the world (there are not :-) and does not even have gloves on!

And somehow we manage to Hoopte orbiting us to the ferry - to fight - our training track turning point. We will contact short, breathe, sleep here, even the ducks. And then we go again: polkas to Hamburg. This time with a tailwind.

And actually, we again make it to the orbiting Elbtunnel a 33er section - okay, we've seen to be better, avg but compared with the 29 km per hour better. Thanks to a tailwind. Or I have it now, the flow?

Anyway - after about 60 kilometers we reach happy and it was 12 clock our homes. "The most beautiful sport", we call to say goodbye to us in the sunny Sunday, I'll use to me to think in a hot bath, as I may one day also may be times, such as Flo Flowing: A 10 Renner-pound and two aisles rocking the shit in the wind.

Hats off!


hazards: 58 km in 2:13 and 30.8 km / h average
