Past events: after one week of sickness the fever of ultra distance cycling caught me again. I didn´t have any program for the weekend. I wanted to make something big and meaningful. In the past I started the summer days early in the morning and got back home lately.

Wiener Wald
The area around my current residence is similar to the previous one. It is located in the front of a mountain (Anninger), very beautiful and expensive. These are the similarities between Mödling and Pécs. Mödling’s geographical position is much better (I can reach Vienna in 15 mins by train, motorways and developed infrastructure are everywhere).
Steep downhill sections and built courses can be harsh for a mtb. In the Mecsek I often thought about a less racy machine. However 90 % of the roads were enjoyable. Last year I explored my new hometown and it’s surroundings and I found life beyond XC riding
A made a couple of bike park visits.

PAST
I heard about the Hungarian Divide bikepacking event in 2017 in Greenzone bikeshop (Zalaegerszeg). In 2017 I succesfully finished the XCU series (=10 hour long XCO race on diverse locations).
Biking is a pretty divided hobby. It has a lot of categories. In this Post I want to speak about the XCO/Maraton, and trail bikes.
Comparison table:
| Nr | Parameter | Dimension | XCO | Trail |
| 1 | Travel front | mm | 0-100 | 120-160 |
| 2 | Travel heck | mm | 0-100 | 120-160 |
| 3 | Handlebar width | mm | 720+ | 780+ |
| 4 | Rim width | mm | 20-22 | 25-35 |
| 5 | Tiresize | inch | 2-2,4 | 2,3-2,6 |
| 6 | Diameter of disk brakes | mm | 160-180 | 180-200 |
| 7 | Number of pistons | pc | 2 | 4 |
| 8 | Teeth of chainring | pc | 28-30 | 30-36 |
| 9 | Seatpost | – | fix | dropper |
This table shows us that the trail bikes are overdimensioned and more massive.
I firstly met with this theme when I was a student. These exercises are written for musicians, but athletes can also benefit from them. They were pretty useful when I was an active runner. After moving out of Veszprém I forget about them, now I am trying to make such exercises again.

“Every mountain or mountain area is an idependent, separated little world. Till we go up on it, or climb it, we will almost walk the path from the tropics or the temperate belt to the Arctic. “

Travel. Explore. Dream.
I got my first bike in 2009. My brother wanted to spend less time in front of a computer and to get rid of my overweight. After two years I attended my first mtb race in my life.
