After driving a fair distance down a dirt track, you decide to pull over into a clearing. This spot will do nicely as a base for the weekend. It’s been a while since you’ve biked single track and you’re itching to get back out there and you’re yearning for an adrenaline boost.
Without hesitation, you eagerly jump out of the car and look towards the western horizon. There’s around two hours daylight left. Just enough time to hit the trail before setting up camp. Before taking the bike of its rack you pop open the back of your 4×4 to check on your precious cargo. There it is.
The Linea Micra coffee station you carefully packed alongside its purpose-bought generator. You’ve always held the motto that a good ride starts with a good coffee. A little boost to push you through the challenges of the ride ahead. So why should this ride be an exception for quality?
While your Linea Micra begins to warm up, you take this opportunity to get ready for your ride. Your tyres are firm, you’ve slipped your helmet and gloves on, and your bottle is ready. Now, it’s time for coffee.
It no longer matters if you’re at home or out on the track, you take pride in being able to master the art of a perfect flat white wherever you go. Besides, there’s nothing better than surprising yourself with a little trick before even hopping on the bike – whether it’s pouring rosettas, tulips, or even swans.
With your coffee in hand, you take a step back, watching the steam gently rise from your favourite mug before disappearing into the crisp, cold air. While sipping on your warm, smooth and balanced flat white, you admire the view and feel a warm rush kick in despite a cool change settling in. Blood pumping, warm and focused. You’re ready to tackle the track head on.
