Compared to 2013 when Karen did a lot of cyclocross races last winter was more relaxed. Not without a reason as Karen has some nice mountainbike races on her program which will need all her energy coming summer.
‘I had a more relaxed winter this year because I will race some nice cross country and marathon races this season. Particular I am looking forward to the Zillertal Bike Challenge. This stage race over 3 days in Austria will be over 200 kilometres and every day around 3000 altimeters. This will also be a perfect preparation for our National Championships cross country.’, Stated Brouwer.
