My biking season starts on October 1st and lasts until September 30th, hence today’s Friday is the last day of the season, this coming weekend is part of the new season 2017.

It’s time for a summary of this past season…

• The winter-season started pretty well. Saturdays and Sundays we did regularly tours on the mountain bike in the Schönbuch. In January I got my new All-Road bike, a Ridley XTrail, which is quite fun to ride. With this I got to do quite a number of kilometers and conserve some of the good summer form. A few weekends with bad weather I used my Tacx Trainer or went to the cycle-track in Öschelbronn.
• This formed a good base for the training camp on Mallorca. Unfortunately I got a cold shortly before travelling to Mallorca, but recovered in time. Mallorca was great, we did a lot long tours with low to medium speed in order to train the base endurance. Returning from Mallorca, the Spring time was going very well. In July I went to the Allgäu (Nesselwang) for a long week and did another 1000km there… From that point onwards it looked like I could do a record season.
• Road bike:
  • 8788,6 km total, 96 tours, average of 91,5km per tour;
    several more compared to last years.
  • In total 334 hours of cycling time; 26,85km/h average speed
  • 80.793 m altitude
  • 62 toures< 100km (Ø 66,3 km; avg 517m, 27,32 km/h)
  • 34 tours > 100km (Ø 137,6 km; avg 1433HM, 26,00 km/h)
• Mountainbike / Cross:
  • 25 tours
  • 1385km total
  • 13.690 m altitude
  • ca. 64 cycling time
  • 22,0 km/h average speed over all
• Tacx Traininer
  • 34 Trainings
  • 1.387 km

• All in all I would call this the record year, with:
