Professionell Hill Climbers

I must say that I am very much impressed by the new photo on the top page of Tom's blog. It gives the impression, that either Tom has just rode up a very steep road and is taking his well deserved rest on the top of the hill. Or that he is a very skilled user of Adobe Photoshop.

But if I am really, really honest, I am not impressed at all. I have rode up in the past may much steeper slopes, also during race conditions. As you can see in the photo below :

This is me, disguised as Jan-Ulrich Kraehe in November 2007, riding up the crazy 54% slope at the Saiko hill climb race in front of the peloton.
What do you say now, Tom? - See you at Shiobara.


It's the Ups and the Downs as they say but at Saiko you were clearly going down!

We'll see you Jan in Shiobara!
