Rolf's latest

They've finally caught up with me! In the evening two older men suddenly stood before me, as I was cutting the lawn. They pulled out their IDs, took out two bottles and offered me a doping test. Naturally I was somewhat flabbergasted at first, but then it went fine and was over quickly. Of course, I didn't have a bad conscience. But then my son Dominik said, hopefully you took something, then they'll disqualify you and you can stay at home forever!

Zihlschlacht, 13 May 97

The holiday legs were trashed about. After 210km and almost seven hours I had the feeling again that I'm faster than touring cyclists. Though I have starve off the kilo of holiday bacon - not so easy. But a tip to all the cyclists out there: If you're looking for a good place to train, come to eastern Switzerland. We have everything, hills, flats, rolling hills, not a lot of traffic, and sun. It was really nice again to ride.
