Finally it was the last day of the Mountain Bike Challenge began. To the enormous aching limbs had almost become accustomed. At least have the energy reserves with a double dinner (just like every night) recharged. Less the sporting energy budget, but the more the motivation aspect was the excellent Wiener Schnitzel in the Czech Accommodation beneficial. Even the walkout was the four Oberbergern difficult. They said so again, "you torture" and spent the last 75 km and a height of 2,000 meters. Like every morning at 9 clock were both RSF team at the start of the day. Item 10 clock was then the start and it went from starting block 3 on the first few miles back uphill route. The two teams were beginning to RSF in a sporty pace close to each other. After prolonged fast forest roads through the Czech forests it came to the first downhill, which required for the high density field quite a bit maneuver skills. Here Mark had a team from the foot of the trail, then an Italian sports colleagues, the unsafe driving style shone through his escape. Off the racing line, he was then a very high sales hit and went down. The Italians had taken but not much better and went along with some other bikers and also to the ground.
went without any significant wear of the race but continued directly into a steep Beraufpassage, the equalized the field considerably. Followed by a seemingly endless end, technically demanding trial along the Polish-Czech border was hardly any change in placement. Only after some difficult passages, Downhill Team 1 could back a little of 2 RSF team to settle. Fast forest roads helped to a relatively uniform race with a high average speed, if this was possible after 5 stages. RSF Both teams were able to complete the remaining stage without any significant incidents. Even the part thereof under Michael held in conjunction with the provisionally attached cable ties. Also Volkers Scar and tires held out. could
After the field had sorted according to the performance classes and we met again the day before, both well-known teams in the RSF team to make some good pitches. On the last two climbs, it was still a team together with a strong international team overtake even the leading Damenduo. In a furious final sprint won two more seats are well made, although probably no more effect had on the overall placement. Team 2 was able to make over the last mile asphalt departure also a few places by clever drafting ride and good Übesetzungsverhältnisse. This showed again that even a little bit of this tactic is successful.
Finally, both teams ended with no injuries and very happy the Mountain Challenge adventure through Poland and the Czech Republic. Now the final Piwo (beer) and the sausage was deserved. For the last time it was still pitching for the bikewash.
Since the last destination Kudowa but a few miles from the original start in Duszniki away and there was also the last night was booked, turned still the question of how the last few miles were overcome. From friendly source it was called then, it had to be covered for 5 km downhill. The 4 RSF'ler then decided the route to the "roll-out to take advantage. The task turned out to be a 17 km long and blessed with many meters out EU-funded mountain road that not just was time for relief.
Along the way you came then to a group of Belgian bikers with the same goal. Since these were isolated by their own support vehicle traffic from the rest decided to go along the uphill RSF'ler the high speed and then all reached soon completely exhausted, the last overnight stop. Now the wheels were able to such leave shall be final. The material had rendered satisfactory service in this high stress. Many of the participants did not fare so well. So many total failures (frame breaks, etc.) were recorded. And physical failures forced many teams to the task. Ca. 50 of the 200 competing teams could not finish the bike challenge. Fortunately, one of the first steps on the difficult toppled Polish driver was on his feet again. The greatly swollen and patched-face spoke volumes.
In summary, it can be said that this was for the two teams in the RSF a borderline experience in wide variety of ways. However, it has no regrets on this adventure have experienced and been through too. Now you can return to the competitive challenges of the current season pay in local clubs.
