Equipment prep – season ready?

The events for the next season are locked and former injuries are under control. The gyms are still in lock-down and the trail centres did not open up yet. Therefore, I am pretty happy that we have the basics down in our ‘home gym’. Also little endurance loops around our home base are good enough for now. So the training is going as planned. But what about the equipment? There are lots of delivery shortages on bikes, bike parts and clothing. Fortunately, I’ve got all I need at home.

The Bike

As there were no races and only a few bike trips last year, things are not as run down as usual. I have a functioning bike with new flat pedals (that were ordered a long time ago). My Liv Hail is shiny as ever and beaming in green, blue and violet – or rather Chameleon Galaxy. She is such a beauty!

The Equipment

Fortunately, I bought enough spare parts and break pads during the last seasons. This little arsenal will hopefully get us through the next months. When it comes to clothing and equipment in general, I always look for durable stuff, that lasts for more than only one season. So this year’s season equipment prep will be the shortest ever. And the best thing – it’s more sustainable as well!

I am looking forward to open trails in a month and maybe even some group rides with our bike buddies (if the situation allows).

We miss you! See you on the trails! 💚💙💜
