MTS - Koszęcińskie Szutry

THE LAST RACE!

Take a look at gpx file:. 81% of unpaved routes!

I almost didn't take part, because my bike friend couldn't attend. I felt uneasy going alone, but it's not like we will always race together, so I should get used to that.

There was one more thing which were discouraging me from participation - weather. The race took part in the beginning October, the weather forecast was at best inconclusive. Sun, rain, wind, cold, warm, everything at once or nothing... But I convinced myself I need to practice riding in such not-so-nice conditions.

Robinsonada Łódzka - 98km race

I am really glad I participated in MTS, it gave me nice boost, I've gained some experience and I was pretty sure I will finish 98km race in less than 4 hours. After all, Robinsonada Łódzka were organized on my turf. I know our forests and roads, so it should be a smooth sail through familiar grounds.

Well, apparently it wasn't.

First race - MTS Tarnowskie Góry

When I have started training in May with a coach, my first was supposed to be at the beginning of September in familiar surroundings of the city where I live. 90km of roads and terrain I know pretty well.

On one hand I was really unsure about myself and racing, because I did not have such experience in any sport I have undertaken so far. This didn't stop me from looking what Polish racing scene has to offer...

First month of bike trainings

It's been a month since I started training for gravel ultramarathon with a professional and there's a progress. My cadence has gotten way better and I even improved my heart rate. Cadence is my main problem - it's just too low, but according to my trainer I quickly achieved better one.

The beginning

I really wanted to write this post about my small bike retreat, but of course I started having lots of ideas how to tackle it, what kind of photos I want to show you, what’s the best format and so on and so forth… So here I’m trying to actually write anything.

Stuff I've stumbled across the Internet #3

It's been a while, huh? I have a couple of ideas of what I would like to do here - summaries for each post, nicer styling, self-hosting... But let's stick to something which is doable righ now:

Stuff I've stumbled across the Internet #2

Second post, wow! For a second post I was planning to write a bit about my small bike retreat, but I already reached two pages full of bad English, so it must rest for a while. Like a wine or cheese or something. You get the idea.

Welcome to the first episode of Stuff I've stumbledd across the the Internet! Let me share my joys with you and guess which one is my favourite.
