Winter sesh 1.0 "How it went"

So how did it went?!

Crazy temperatures and a dazling wind that just cuts trough you and takes away all your warmth!
The trail was fast and solid as a rock. Some iced up patches here and there. But nothing to worry about.
We allready put on all our gear at Jeremy's house so we wouldn't have to spend time doing that out in the cold! :-)
Dennis, my brother and photographer was completely set up when we rolled in to the park and so the shooting could begin straight away.
During the first run it was already so cold and hard to flow the dirts. In between runs trying to warm up for a bit, and took a lot of energy as well. And always gave a bit warmt for just a bit. When standing on top of the rolin, you were cold again!

And so it didn't take long before my feet started to lose there heat. And I decided to put some of my last left energy in to making a fire!
And even trying to start a fire was so hard, that when we finally had a fire going. There was no way that my feet would get the feeling back in them for as long as I would stay outside! Jeremy had done a lot of runs trough out his whole park by now. D, my brother was shooting pics all day without wearing gloves!! Just Amazing how he was able to keep making pictures in temperatures that feel like -15! Dennis just missed out on all the warmth that our blazing fire gave us, he was defrosting in the train back to Groningen by this time.

All together the day was super cool! ( I know.. Bad word joke huh! )
But really, I had fun! And it is worth doing another time, but with better planning for a proper fire to warm up with at any time. And maybe a bit less wind. I'm Looking forward to more winter sessions! Riding your bike is as fun as you make it!

I wish everybody a beautifull day full of love and amazingness!

Ciao!

Winter sesh 1.0

A very good day to all! Cool to see you again ;-)
Currently I'm sitting in the train waiting to go to Assen, yes once again to Jeremy's Trail. I just missed out on the last train. My normal bike at home had a flat tire which I did not yet repaired today, and sort of forgot that i had to run to the train station. And because of that I was late, realy late! This ment I had to litterely run! As fast as I could with a huge bag on my back. After a long cold and sweating run I was finally there! My brother is awaiting for me, shit I still needed a ticked! Another quick sprint to the ticked machine, got a ticked and the train was gone! Bummer! But no sweat, although I was sweating a lot! Now we could chill out a bit, get some food and drinks, and jump in to the next train. (And starting to work on my blog ofcourse)

whoehoe! We are off! I don't know how the weather is at this moment wherever you are. But here in the flat Country of Holland
It is freezing!! Some snow here and there and a beautifull blue sky today! So why not shoot a couple sweet pics!
Atleast if that is going to be a bit possible with a temperature feel of minus 15! ( in real it is less, but this is what it supposed to feel like today!)

Okay, I guess we're almost there. Love & Peace! And catch you on a later blog!
