This year I switched from hybrid bike to road bike with drop bars. I was curious and looking for new experiences. Drop bar for me is a symbol of profi cyclist. If all profies are cycling on such equipment I guess should be benefits in road bike. Occasionaly, I was lucky to buy a discounted but new one…

I’ve entered Nullarbor. All night I was laid in tent and felt pain in legs and knees. Every turn brought me an uncomfortable feeling in my leg’s muscles. In the morning I did not wait until some member of the Head of Bight staff would come up to me and left this beautiful place at…
