Never thaught of Greece before? I mean beside spending some great holidays on one the beautiful islands arround the mainland? No? That was reason enough to book some flights, grab our bikes and HELLAS – of to Greece. The team was
Ben Hennon, Tobias Wicke, Ben Shenker, Axel Jurgens, Hannu Cools and
Markus Wilke. Along with
Thomas Fritscher, Daniel Etter and myself the group of people couldnt have been better.
On day 1 everybody traveled to Athens individually to get together. We were welcomed by
Kelly at Eastpak Greece and
Andreas Yakoumis, a greek Eastpak team rider. As everybody can imagine nothing really happend that day – riding wise I mean. We checked into our hotel, set up our bikes, had a few beers and had a very nice welcome dinner with some more greek riders and friends. Some of them will follow us for the rest of the trip – head first my friend
Chris Martatos – a fruitcake with silly jokes, great riding skillz but unfortunately a broke wrist. But he took care of the fun/humour level for the week.
