Tour done many times. Always beautiful and also quite exhausting.

My last MTB tour was exactly 3 weeks ago. It was really fun, but I expected more water. Maybe more rain will come in the near future.

There is plenty of water at the moment as you can clearly see.
Once I had to take off my shoes and socks to cross a stream.
While wading through, I noticed how slippery the stones in the stream were.
That would definitely have gone wrong if I had rushed through there.😱

I've ridden it many times, always beautiful, but also challenging.
There are some mean and rocky paths, but also asphalt.
There are also a few construction sites along the route.
It feels like every street in my area is being torn up.😱😡

A truly beautiful tour through lush nature.

Unfortunately, many roads are being torn up in this area, forcing you to take alternative routes.

Not a problem if you know your way around.
