Hi my name is Andi & on September 4th I will be attempting to cycle up all 3 routes of the Stelvio Pass in Italy, in one single day - see photo!

Yes that's right 3 Times in One Day! So come on and support me in this quest. It will help me to get up there, not once,twice but three times if I know you are supporting me in this way.

As part of my enduring training I'll be taking part in 3 semi-pro bike races.

1.16th May- Amade Radmarathon-Austria...98km-

I completed  the 98 km race in 4 hours 11 minutes.It was a bloody awful day-rain,wind & it even started to snow as we reached the top of one of the climbs-but I got there in the end.Now for race No.2.

2.13th June-Berchtesgadener Land Radmarothon-Germany...191km.

I eventually completed this race in 8 hours 19 minutes.The weather for this race stayed fine just about.This was a tough race for me-cycling up variuos passes the toughest was going up Roßfeld average 12% incline for 12 km & then cycling along the flats with the bloody wind in your face.It was a good feeling to see the finnish line.Now for race No.3

3.11th July-Engadine Radmarathon-Switzerland...211km/3827hm

I have to admit,I was a bit nervous going into this race.This race was very tough but at the same time enjoyable-I completed the race in 10 hours 15 miutes,it was a hot sunny day.Cycling over 5 mountain  passes.The Ova Spin Pass,Forcola Pass,Bernina Pass,Flüela Pass & last & probably the hardest Albula Pass.I was pleased afterwards with my performance as I didn't stop(only at the drink stations)I managed to keep going to the end.

Now that I've finished the 3 training races I have now a few weeks of training & to prepare for the big challenge in Italy.I feel more confident now especially after completing the one in Switzerland.I will do it!!!
