Anita & Caro Gehrig to Quit Racing & Open a Hotel After 2022 EWS Season
Enduro pros Anita and Carolin Gehrig have announced that they will be leaving the race tracks of the Enduro World Series at the end of the 2022 season. The 2022 season, the Gehrig twins' tenth international racing season, will be a farewell to performance at the top level as the twins embark on a new career path, running the Flem Mountain Lodge, a new bike hotel in Switzerland's mountain destination Flims.
The twins will open the lodge to guests starting June 3, 2022 and will provide their guests with mountain biking tips and coaching, organize camps and community events, and offer culinary delights and relaxation. Their focus will be on active guests, especially mountain bikers, who are looking for experiences and relaxation in equal measure in the region around Flims.
They will also host events such as bike camps, small concerts, and film screenings. The lodge will be a place where guests and locals enjoy fine coffee or a local après-bike beer and share their experiences on the trails together.
 | Of course, we will miss the big races a bit after this season. But running our own hotel is both a unique opportunity and a long-awaited dream for us. The best thing is that we can continue to do what we enjoy. |
| Flims offers an incredible amount for Mountain Bikers and outdoor lovers. We also know all the trail gems in the region, are happy to give our guests tips for the perfect biking day, and afterwards provide them with the finest coffee, cool drinks, and delicious and healthy food. |
The Flem Mountain Lodge has 23 modern rooms and a 4 ½ room vacation apartment. More details on the twins' new venture can be found at flemlodge.ch

And I am torn between paying market demand for entertainment, and capping it all together so it’s more accessible to more people.
I think it’s fair to say there could be a more equitable spread of wealth among everyone, not just a select few
yea that.
I would much sooner make more money (or have more time) than watch mountain biking on TV or watch an NBA game.
Sports are just another way to divide us, and distract us from that fact that our 90% of our lives are spent in the workplace, ironically, staring at a screen for which we then go home or to the pub to stare at a screen with others.
All the best to the Gehrig's in their pursuit of the work/life balance we all seek to achieve.
I struggle with capitalism sometimes as its still an unfair system.
I cant ever fault someone doing the work, and being paid for it, but I do cringe when I see superstar salaries in the hundreds of millions.
I believe you should get paid your worth, and ultimately the market decides that.
A more equitable spread of wealth would be a great goal, we should all strive to lift each other up, and give back when we can. You build a better you when you build a better team
Is this a "Being John Malkovich" situation?
So….pizza and beer?
Sounds lovely doesn’t it
