Above Or Below Knee Length

Ruhr Bike Festival 2007



in time by 14 clock has started the marathon this year's Bike Festival Ruhr in Wetter an der Ruhr. Torsten, who represented the RSF that day due to the upcoming MTB Challenge in Poland alone, started "assault towers" with his Vitalij supporters - of his first marathon went - from the back rows.



was planned as the Kellerwald marathon to start slowly and then do well the first places to be able to pitch. But this plan did not, for even the smallest gradients were already at the start of the race is very narrow, there was a wait, as many bikers said they would push. To drive past there was no chance. Accordingly, further irritated it went well for Tom, until the knee went for a few kilometers of easy problems. For about two miles he had to take out some pace, it was normal to go further. The technically and physically demanding track demanded a lot from the bikers, for there was the high number of trails only a few sections where you could let loose roll. Just before the second aid station at 32 km Torsten and Vitalij drove back a bit in common, but the big rush to the aid station we lost again.



fresh strengthened Torsten could use its conditional benefits, because shortly before the end it went to 2.5 km about 200hm at a time up the hill. Here and on the following remaining pitches he could make up some places. After 03:28 hours Torsten reached the target and thus the 48th Place in class "license Men / Senior I" and the 496th in the Overall rank. Vitaly came to 3:34 in the target and thus as 521st in the overall standings.
