(Photos by: Gliadi Content & Paweł Rzepecki) 1000 km in the middle of winter, across the whole Polish land, from the very North, Hel Penisula to the very South of the country, High Tatars. This was the idea that came to mind last December and with my friend Maciej Kordas, we decided to make it happen. Why? Well… each year in January in Poland, the … Czytaj dalej MPPxRTP Day1
Here it is, 2024, and even if it is only a couple of it when I write this, I feel like a lot has already happened. The time in my life has been flying recently, this is why I decided to say, wait! Before the next year starts, I have to make a little recap of the previous one, because, for my cycling life, it … Czytaj dalej 2023 Recap!
So the race is over, and I’m now back home, enjoying the feet up and racing season reaching to an end. It is pretty surprising, that nothing is 100% planned for the next year yet. I have some ideas, not nothing for certain. Anyway, I wasn’t going to write about the future, but more about the past and the present, that happened recently during Further … Czytaj dalej After „FURTHER ELEMENTS”
I first heard about the project in January this year, as I’m subscribing to Camille’s (main man about the whole Further thing) newsletter. What got me in was the date, as I really like riding on the edge of Autumn and Winter, the place, as I have never been to Scotland really but always wanted to be there, and the last thing was how it … Czytaj dalej Before „Further Elements„
My first proper stop during the race was on km 650 in Spoken Hostel, when I arrived 24 hours after the race started and an amazing sunrise in the Ochoco National Forest. I ate spaghetti, showered, slept for a little bit more than two hours, ate another spaghetti, and left, just before Ben and Omar arrived. The whole thing took me three hours maybe. I … Czytaj dalej Trans Am Bike Race 2023 / part three.
Nervous talks, high fives, and a few words from Nathan Jones about the route, a quick photo, and an Instagram post from before the start and we are there, on the edge of Highway 30, in the heart of Astoria, Oregon, waiting for 6 AM to official start the race. I’m putting myself in the front of the group. Ben Davies is next to me, … Czytaj dalej Trans Am Bike Race 2023 / part two.
It was still dark when I left st. Joan. I started in a winter jacket but when the climb to Col de la Chau and Col de Rousset kicked in, I got warm again pretty fast, and I changed my layers for spring again. These two climbs were nice. The higher I was, the felt better and better. For some part of the first climb, … Czytaj dalej RAF2022 / CP5
This is the seventh and the last part of my memories from Transiberica 2021. Please find the previous parts on the main blog page: pikopulawski.wordpress.com — I woke up and the first thought was: „oh no, I overslept”. I’ve rolled my bivi back to the saddlebag, packed up, and jumped on the bike. It was bright and the day was fully up. Instead of 30 … Czytaj dalej 7. Finish line / Transiberica_21 / eng
To już siódma i ostatnia część moich wspomnień z Transiberica 2021. Poprzednie części znajdziecie na głównej stronie bloga: pikopulawski.wordpress.com — Obudziłem się i pierwszą myślą było: „o nie, zaspałem”. Zwinąłem bivi z powrotem do Szakwy, spakowałem się i dosłownie wskoczyłem na rower. Było już zupełnie jasno. Zamiast 30 minut spałem ponad 2 godziny. Wjeżdżając na ostatni odcinek specjalny, odpaliłem FMC na smartfonie, aby sprawdzić, co … Czytaj dalej 7. Linia mety / Transiberica_21 / pl
