Sorry not sorry, a smol ride hits different as a parent 😇

7 years ago, I hopped on my first roadbike ride in the beginning of August (slides 1-3 from 2017) and now we here („now“ is 2021 in Tirol climbing the Hahntennjoch for the second time) 🤝 But to be honest, I don’t feel as good on the bike this year and seeing all the pictures from amazing cyclists climbing all these picturesque mountains gives me quite a bit of envy. Mostly because I’m struggling with my hand falling asleep (carpal tunnel syndrome from the hormones) and quite a fear of crashing. 🥲 Let’s see how this journey continues!

Hard to believe that I’ve never done the ride to Bratislava, living just 70km away - today was the day thanks to the grandparents 🫶 It all went pretty well, stayed dry, nailed nutrition, always found a place to fill up the bottles when needed - until I realized I typed in the wrong train station in Bratislava and I will be home late. 🫠 Fellow parents will know the feeling of discomfort, but here we are, back on the way to Vienna. With a TSS of 137, it probably was the hardest ride since 1,5 years, but for me personally, it’s a great achievement on the way back! #beatyesterday

Adult life includes WAY LESS turning outfits from ~ day to night ~ than youth magazine suggested, however, it sure does include a fair share of changing quickly from sportswear to everyday cloths 😉 @we_are_sungod always by my side, Airas on the bike and Sierras off the bike here! 🤝

There’s no healthy tan, not for us cyclists, and especially not for babies 👶🏼 Anzeige // @dasboep has a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t look white after application, has no phthalates in it and is Hawaiian reef friendly 👌 get it for 15% less with „unicorncycling“ until 31.7. - valid on the whole website with a minimum order of 15€ PS: the rash cream is also a great fit for saddle sores 💡

Quite a common question in my DMs so here’s my 5 cents on pregnancy bibs 🤰🏼 TLDR as @veloine.cc doesn’t exist anymore and don’t makes any pregnancy bibs, the best solution for me is to simply size up 2-3 sizes and wear bibs with comfortable leg endings like the @straede.cc ones I’ve been using. When the belly is growing, it’s likely that your training sessions will get shorter so the mildly moving chamois won’t be a big issue. 💡 What was your solution, fellow cycling moms?

What a piece of art! The @neat_components Garmin Varia mount is the perfect present for the cyclist who (nearly) has it all 👌 This is the one for the classic 27,2mm round saddle mount but they come for so many different saddle mounts, you’re definitely gonna find yours on the website! *Gifted, not paid

Been exploring new places with the @komoot planning tool since ages and now, it’s finally proposing gravel tours too! 🎉🥳 The feature is incredibly helpful because the routes are based on the local riders routing habits - those people that know the ways to go and which roads to avoid. Been touring Tuscany, Romagna and Vicenza region with the Komoot Tours. 👌 #komootgravel

Hello @womanmagazin 🥹 made it to Austrias biggest magazine for women together with @natalie.xri 🎉

Tutto finito ⛰️🇮🇹 Plot twist: you suck at descending Jersey is @gorewear Spirit Stripe jersey, a lightweight and affordable summer jersey for all the long torso girls 🚴🏼‍♀️

Spent the last few days offline on a little cycling holiday with the grandparents and 👶🏼 - the best possible way! Came back home relaxed, with a little cold 🤧 and many more content and ideas for posts on here. But let’s start with a little photo „dump“ from the Monti Berici, Vicenza and Bassano del Grappa! 🇮🇹 The region is so green and rich and offers a great variety of routes. Also, many Italian cycling brands come from here!

Unterschätze nie die Liebe der Deutschen zu ihren Unterhosen (und zum Unwort „SCHLÜPPI“) 😂 Why does it make sense to ditch the underwear while roadcycling and gravel cycling, especially for longer rides? During each pedalstroke, your pelvis makes a small movement. When there’s a sewing or a small wrinkle of your underwear between the chamois and your body, it will start to chafe after some time. Chafing leads to painful injuries. If you usually wear your underwear more than once before disposing it - for example by washing it after you wear it - your bibs will stay hygienic if you wash them with sports detergent after the use aswell. There is also a chance that you won’t have any issues with wearing underwear, especially if your rides aren’t that long, and if it works for you: congratulations! 🥳 For most people, it will end in an issue tho. Many also don’t feel comfortable talking about such a sensitive topic and if this advice can save the private parts of just one person, it’s already a win. 💪
