Everybody I know had enough of snow, its unusual for us on the west coast of Norway to have snow for months. We are used to rain and mild winters!

It`s still snowing now and then, but its getting warmer in the air so the roads are wet and salty. The good feeling I have after training is not from the good training I did but from the hours I managed to do. After being in perfect riding conditions in both South Africa and Gran Canaria this is a mental test for me. Today I think I used about 30min to get all dressed up for my 2,5hr ride, in another word I didn`t know what to wear and how many layers

Before when I used to stay home the whole wintertime this was not a problem so I know Its all about getting used to the cold again. I`m just to spoiled to have the option to travel somewhere warmer when I want now!

After three years with Specialized Factory Racing I`m happy to resign for two more years. I`m sure I will have two more fantastic years with the team and I hope this will make me develop more through the years. I know I`ll have the best support in the world so the rest is just up to me.

Take Care
