no more sportograf
this in german for a change, as it mainly might concern local folks anyways. it’s about my cooperation (and why i ended it) with the event-photoservice sportograf in 2007/08 – which prove way less enjoyable than many, esp. their clients might have expected.
the italian job
.. more or less business as usual, just with some ‘minor’ differences.. a mtb-marathon with rather little (just close to 300) participants, 500kms to reach it, and best of all – getting to know about it just some hours before having to depart..
so i went to sauris/ita alone, arriving there at 2 in the morning, getting up at 6 again, without knowing the track at all, trying to get a plan, looking for useable spots, and being readily set up there after the start at 9 .. luckily the weather was quite the opposite of what was to expect in advance.
kraftwerktrophy 08
the sequel of a legend.. after skipping one year due to organizational troubles a legendary 24h-roadbike-race, the “kraftwerktrophy” was reborn, relocated away from the name-giving powerplant of theiss to donnerskirchen.. a small, still great race, with an even greater spirit, let’s hope there’ll be some more participants the next time..
winter’s over (not)

wintercup #4
small “training-shoot” for me at the latest race of the vienna “wintercup”, a small series of mtb/cx-races taking place during – surprise :) – the wintermonths on various locations in or near our capital..
