This is the space for the stories of my races.

I've always found that the essence of life was never more condensed than under the pressure of unsupported bikepacking-races.

It's not only about mileage,

but about the experiences you make,

the people you meet on the way,

the challenges you come across

and the limits you exceed

when riding a bike far and long.

because you are too damn tired,

the answer might as well just be 42.

Always go too far because that's where you'll find the truth and frozen microwave cake
