Greg Reain Report from Germany

It's been one month since I returned to Hamburg for the beginning of the 06/07 'Cross season. I am once again with the German continental outfit Stevens Racing Team. We started with a two week training camp here in Hamburg that culminated in a double UCI C2 race weekend on 23/24 September hosted by the Stevens Bicycle company.

I had the next weekend off from racing, but was in Berlin on Tuesday 4 October for another UCI C2. It's been a bit rough adapting to the speed of racing over here after taking the month of August off, but things are starting to roll again. This weekend is another double weekend of C2 fun in Holland and Belgium. As usual I am keeping things fairly up to date on my blog (www.crazyfast.blogspot.com). I'll be back in Canada on 2 November for Aurora and then 'Cross Nat's in Nanaimo.
