Radler

Phew! The marathon stage racing has finally come to a stop. Three weeks and three stage races in three different countries has made us all tired, hungry and ready to go home for some R&R (rest and relaxation).

We got to share the last two days of racing with The Uncle, who took the train south from Berlin. He got his first time trial spectating experience followed by a ride in the team car for the last day of racing. Due to being car #14 he didn't get to see a lot of the race, but had a good time nonetheless.


We celebrated the end of the marathon stage racing with beer.
Thanks to the teams help, I was able to win the most aggressive rider jersey for the race. I won the biggest beer I have ever seen. Actually it was a Radler which is a mixture of beer and lemon-lime.

It was a most fantastic way to end the month of racing; success, happiness, family and beer.
