The afternoon and evening was still free for the first MTB round of the holiday - traditionally the "robber baron round" plus arrival and departure - easy to ride, nowadays one would say ideal for gravel bikes. In the twilight and then darkness rising fog and therefore a great autumnal forest atmosphere.

That's it with the small but fine Komoot meeting 😭 at Dahner Felsenland Camping Büttelwoog.
After the departure of Lieschen, Petra and Michael today, we shot a short, comfortable final round "robber baron tour" slightly modified.
Were 4 wonderful days and just because of the Palatinate cuisine, there's sure to be a reunion
