Fast and furious at the Snow Bike Festival

Snow Bike Festival Gstaad MarathonMTB

There’s a funny sense of relief when the last day of a stage race rolls around. Even when it’s been something you have planned for, anticipated, saved for and trained for – when you’re tired you are still ready for it to finish. And despite the Snow Bike Festival being a popular 4-day format of […]

Snow Bike Festival and a winter wonderland

Related Event: Snow Bike Festival
Snow Bike Festival Gstaad MarathonMTB

There are few days where everything that needs to fall into place, falls into place. It can happen on race days, it can happen on social rides, but even with the best preparation it doesn’t always happen. Having the the right mix of motivation, conditions, equipment and experiences does not always happen. I’m lucky that […]

Related Event: Snow Bike Festival
Snow Bike Festival Gstaad MarathonMTB

The Snow Bike Festival is the the first UCI S1 mountain bike stage race of the year, and also the only UCI race that is held on snow (although professional road racers might disagree some years when Paris-Nice gets hit hard by the weather!). With a home in the Swiss resort town of Gstaad, the […]

Swiss Epic MarathonMTB mountain bike switzerland

Due to heavy rainfall and snow in upper areas, Stage 3 of the Perskindol Swiss Epic route has been adjusted.

Centurion Vaude wrestle back Swiss Epic race lead

MarathonMTB Swiss Epic 2017 bike mountain bike Switzerland

Another day, another change in the race lead at the 2017 Perskindol Swiss Epic! The crossing of the bungee swinging bridge at Niouc with a 200 metre high view of the canyon floor was today’s highlight for most riders – and for some, the biggest challenge of the day. This was no problem for the […]
