great tour Did they drive in the mud? Because of this, it was technically and conditionally very demanding in some places.

September is coming to an end. Fantastic weather and many beautiful tours lie behind me.
A little over 400 km and an impressive 11,000 meters in altitude were pedalled.

Actually, I had hoped for shade and a bit of coolness in the forest. Unfortunately I had to sweat a lot. The trails are a bit more difficult. The head always wanted more. But the body couldn't take it anymore.
