This piece of art is called "Lake Turbo". Due to snow all around I switched to another turbo session again. Incl. 2 x 10' 300watts + 1 x 10' 300W directly followed by 10' 255W. #training #turbo #cycling #followyourgoals

System's tired. It needs a day off. There we go.

That's it for today. 1h turbo session w/ ~ 280 watts average. Feeling quite good again after almost one week of less training and various recovery methods. Even though it's about 6 weeks to go until the first race, it's good to see that the hours of work slowly start to pay off. #cycling #training #hit #motivation

Finally testing-time. No, it's not about watts but caffeine. Starting with the #Brasilia blend, we'll go on with #GranBar. Thanks a lot for the original mug-set, very appreciated @ #caffemocambo. 👍

Starting the 6th day of R&R-Week with a gym session. 3x20 lunges with dumbbells to get things going. Btw: @gripgrab socks fit in every training situation #gym #training #hurtsmorethanitlookslike #recovery

Visited the Italian #caffemocambo roasting house in Radevormwald today. Was able to take a look at the roasting drums and the huge coffee bags from south America. That was awesome, just like the smell in the fabric. Really interesting to see, really kind and qualified people and of course I didn't come back without some new #coffee varieties 😉 ☕ #Caffè #addiction #radevormwald #coffeelove

#Massage - aaaaaaaaah, nice. #recoVery important part of training.

Some pretty cool stuff arrived this morning. Thank you @midofno 👍

Back from the first ride of this R&R-Week. Did some easy but freezing cold pedaling for 1:10h. Now off for #massage - really needed. Btw: Some nice scenery again, huh? #cycling #recovery #training #bergischesland

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! The R&R-Week starts with pretty tasty #lowcarb selfmade chickensalad. Hashtag-Ingredients as follows: 400g #Chicken, #salad, #tomatoes, #cucumber, #Mozzarella (light), #oil, #vinegar, #salt, #pepper, #thaicurry, #mustard. #Enjoy. 👍

Finished the week with a 1h gym session this morning + 2.5h w/ 5x5' of climbing intervals. Fueld by @squeezy_sports_nutrition #squeezysportsnutrition and kept warm by @gripgrab. Thanks to u both for supporting me in 2015.

Alright, the last one. Promise! That was the pretty frosty top of the "stage", so called #Nordhelle. For all of you who're up for a re-ride, check out the @stravacycling record: http://app.strava.com/activities/242272752 #itsworthit #middleofnowhere #cycling

Today I trained on one of my most favorite tracks again. 134k with lots of stunning views and some sun as a reward for all the climbs and freezing cold descents. That was real fun again :-) #versetalsperre #nordhelle #listertalsperre #sauerland #bergischesland #cycling #training #followyourgoals

Checking out some new #espresso do #brazil. If it tastes as good as the packing looks like, it should be awesome. ☕ ☕ ☕

Up for an " Apres-Training-Pear-Protein-Jenga "?! 🍐 🍐 🍐 #refuel #training #bridgingtimetilldinner :D

Back from gym and directly off for some hours on the road. Fingers crossed to stay dry... #cycling #training #bergischesland #followyourgoals
