Ich sitze hier, das neue Jahr hat gerade begonnen und ich lasse meine Gedanken in Richtung 2026 schweifen. Wenn ich heute ein Jahr zurückblicke, hatte ich große Pläne für 2025 – doch dann kam alles anders. Nach meiner Rückkehr nach Deutschland im Februar hat mich eine schwere Covid-Erkrankung komplett ausgebremst. Bis in den Juni hinein hatte ich mit den Folgen zu kämpfen.

The Suhua Highway is for sure one of the most spectacular, but also one of the most dangerous sections of Taiwan’s famous Cycle Route No. 1. The 25 kilometers between Su’ao and Nanao are notorious—and rightly so. When I passed by this part during my tour of Taiwan, I was fascinated by the breathtaking scenery, but also confronted with the real dangers that waiting here for cyclists. This part is not a ordinary section of the Taiwan loop.
Sonntag 5:45 Uhr – wir stehen am tiefsten Punkt vom Anstieg zum Schneeberg, in Bischofsgrün im Fichtelgebirge. Wir haben uns heute vorgenommen, ein Everesting zu fahren – 8848 Höhenmeter am Stück, an einem Berg, immer wieder hoch, solange bis du die Höhe vom Mount Everest erreicht hast. In unserem Fall war der Schneeberg das Ziel.
Ja, man kommt schon weit herum bei einer ALPI 4000. Für mich mein erster Super-Brevet und die längste Distanz bisher. Ich starte ganz simple mit der Einstellung, zu fahren, bis es nicht mehr geht. Oder das Rad auseinander fällt 😉 was soll die übertriebene Planerei, wo doch über eine derart lange Distanz viel unvorhersehbares passieren kann – und auch passieren wird. Also sehe ich mir vorher den Kurs an, alle 16 Etappen, lasse aber genug Spielraum für das Abenteuer.
Last week, I found myself in a small, hidden street in Makati, the bustling heart of Manila. I was on my way to La Course Vélo, a shop that has already become a sacred place among cyclists. As I opened the door, I immediately felt the aura of the place.
As cyclists, it’s not just about speed or distance; it’s the passion for pushing ourselves to reach the highest peaks. The Alps, with their majestic mountain passes, offer the ultimate…

Manche Begegnungen haben schon etwas Schicksalhaftes. 2011 im Ziel von Paris-Brest-Paris wurde ich von einem Taiwaner namens A-Yuan angesprochen, ob wir nicht ein gemeinsames Zielfoto machen könnten. Nix dagegen. Ich selbst hatte keine Kamera dabei und habe das Bild auch erst über ein Jahr später erhalten. Aber der Kontakt war hergestellt und riss auch nie wieder ganz ab. 2013 lief ich bei LEL völlig übermüdet um Mitternacht in Edinburgh in die Kontrollstation und traf zwar nicht den Meister selbst, aber seine Ehefrau.
