Bike Session 1/2014 – Nice alternative program – 20.6 km – 26.04.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 26 Apr 2014 | Cycling, Training Session

Without a report and therapy instructions from my sports physician, I did what I was allowed to do – go out and ride a bike. It’s been more than a year since I had been on my bike, and my bum is not used to the sattle 😉 I went out for an easy 1 hour ride,...
