back to europe and back to the cold! It was a big shock to the body after 30+ d in Curacao to arrive to freezing rain and even snow. The past week has been tough for the training! The team were all together again for the Swiss Cup in Reinach and a German Cup in Offenburg. Offenburg was a fantastic race.. they made a team presentation where we were driven into a giant beer tent in a stretched limo! We tried to pretend it wasn't our first time, but we had to feel pretty special :) They also made a super course, and despite the rain it was great fun. I can now feel all the travel and racing and I didn't do too well overall, dnf in Reinach and 5th in Offenburg.

Anyone need to practise their Dutch? There's also plenty of great photos...
