Roc des Alpes und Enduro2
In ganz unterschiedlichen Disziplinen konnten unsere Teamfahrer Sönke Wegner und Daniel Eiermann in den letzten Wochen glänzen.
Gerade kommen sie zurück vom dreitägigen Enduro-Etappenrennen Enduro2. Daniel und Jakob belegten dabei den 3. Rang und fuhren somit aufs Treppchen, Sönke und Daniel belegten einen hervorragenden 7. Platz. Mehr zum Enduro2 gibt es als mehrseitigen Bericht in der nächsten Ausgabe des world of mtb Magazins. Sönke konnte eine Woche zuvor bereits beim Roc des Alpes aufs Treppchen fahren. Er gewann das 3-tägige Stagerace Roc Trophy und zeigte damit eindrucksvoll seine hervorragende Form.
Diese kann er gut gebrauchen, denn schon am Wochenende ist Abflug zum legendären BC Bike Race. Eine Woche auf den vielleicht schönsten Trails der Welt, und was kann mit Brett Tippie zum Anfeuern schon schief gehen. Sönke wird uns wieder live auf Facebook berichten und anschließend im Magazin seine Erfahrungen mit uns teilen.
Wir freuen usn schon auf Sönkes legendäre Berichterstattung.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
