Once again, Komoot decided to “split” the ride on its own 🤦♂️. Naturally during a break. So once again: three files for a single stage. Reliability, it seems, is negotiable. Today’s total: 142 kilometers 🚴♂️.

Today I didn’t set off until 6:00 a.m. It was simply so cold that I couldn’t make myself leave at 5:00. So the first small miscalculation of the day had already happened before I was even properly underway. A promising start ❄️.
