Saisonstart beim Andalucia Bike Race
Während wir hier in Deutschland bei kalten Temperaturen noch auf die bevorstehende Radsaison warten fand in Spanien bereits das “Andalucia Bike Race 2017” statt. Vom 26. Februar bis 3. März standen für die rund 800 Teilnehmer sechs Etappen mit insgesamt etwa 400km auf dem Programm.
Lukas Kaufmann war als Teilnehmer vor Ort und berichtet über seine Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen:
“Das Etappenrennen in Spanien war das genialste was ich bisher in meinen Leben gefahren bin… Etappe 1 war zum aufwärmen mit einigen genialen Trails, doch es wurde immer besser.. Die Etappen 2,3,4 und 6 waren mit sooooo vielen flowigen Trails bestückt, dass diese trotz 50-80 Kilometern und 1700-2000 Höhenmetern sehr schnell vergingen.. Etappe 5 war die schnellste Forststraßenraserei meines Lebens: 104Km + 1800Hm in 3:46 Stunden bedeuteten Platz 71 und eine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von 27,12Km/h… 😛 Die Trails dort sind soooo super zum fahren, ich kann es gar nicht in Worte fassen – Du musst dort selbst einmal mitfahren und ich verspreche Dir eines: Du wirst es nicht bereuen!!! Ich wurde von Tag zu Tag immer besser und belegte schließlich in der Gesamtwertung den tollen 77. Platz von 800 Teilnehmern… DANKE an ALLE Sponsoren, die mir solche genialen Events ermöglichen!!! Ich bin jetzt wieder voll motiviert und freue mich schon voll auf`s nächste Rennen…”

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 Story
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 …
