Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Harz above the tree line. Certainly not the most exciting climb on a mountain bike, but still a must, simply because it's there. ;-)

After almost a year, the classic from Oderbrück appealed to me again.
After 58 minutes I hit the Brockenstein and nibbled back a few minutes compared to the previous year.
The pace per km increased by over 40 seconds to 06.30 min/km.
Great thing today. 💪🙂

At the end of the day and after the pony, a short trip to the Brocken 🪨 was actually good, but my cell phone broke down due to the 2 degrees just before the Brockenstein and it started to snow horizontally ❄️😜🤷🏻‍♀️ It was probably also windy, a bit 😅 😅😅🤷🏻‍♀️👌🏻

Impatience and ambition drove me up the mountain today after a break from a cold. Just test what works.
Conclusion: 4 more weeks of training, then it will be easier, but I'm satisfied with the current level of performance.
Up to the summit: 1 : 03 hrs.
Way back down: 0 : 46 hrs
Running 😉
