July 3, 2022,Gelbachtal – Malerischer Mountainbiker Pfad Runde von Montabaur

Despite my good basic condition, I wouldn't describe the tour as "intermediate". Some of the gradients are really steep and even with a good "middle class mountain bike" it is sometimes really exhausting. There were places where I had to dismount because even the 27 gears were hardly enough to ride the trail safely. This may not be a problem …
