 – GUEST, Lars Blesvik –

Coming to you from a pain-cave just west of Oslo, Norway! Started off riding Offroad in the nineties, turned to road and gravel. Tested most, if not all cycling e-sports platforms, but have ended up being mostly devoted to Zwift. Still ride all year round, but more focus on adventures and views outside, and do the structure indoors.
