Hans Rey - Once Upon A Ride In Umbria | SHIMANO
Спорт
It’s the late 90’s and trials legend Hans Rey is spending most of his year travelling the globe, featuring in commercials, meeting US presidents and competing at the highest level. Now, however, he is starting to feel that the past 20 years of trials riding, crashes and injuries are taking their toll on his body and mind. So, his mind is now flirting with what’s next? Where to go? Where to settle down?
Throughout his travels there was always one place he was drawn to, Umbria in Italy. Returning here religiously when managing to grab those rare times off from his crazy life. This land-locked county in central Italy, known for its olive groves, vineyards and medieval hill towns, with villas washed in golden light by the warm long sunny days. Think of that classic book “Under the Tuscan Sun”.
To see just how far technology has changed and influenced the mountain bike scene Hans decided to revisit his old stomping grounds and experiences his favorite trails 20 years later to see for himself how his EP8-equipped GT Force AMP+ E-MTB tackles the Umbrian trails.

Looks like a gorgeous part of the world where time slows down.
Good times going down memory lane in Umbria. Love that place.

It's so great to hear from you again Hans!!! I raced XC on Mt Bikes back in the 80's & 90's.....You traveled from Big Bear in So Cal to Mammoth Mtn in Nor Cal! My bike nowadays has batteries too! Back in the day you could do stuff no one else could....I'll bet you can still do most of it today!!! Are you still a GT shill? It seems like you are!! I like the No Way Rey Wine! Thanks Hans!

Mein Sohn ist ein großer Fan von Elektrofahrrädern und er ist mitte dreißig. Er sagt, er kann doppelt so weit gehen und doppelt so viel Spaß haben, wenn er zurückfährt!
