Our "lead wolf" had announced an epic tour at the end of the year 😂.. The tour was awesome. Rain, wind, mud... exactly what a gravel bike needs 👍... Once again there was a great group on the road. In Holland we were able to experience a top-class carb shooting live 👍.. through Lutterzand and on the Grafenalle towards Singraven. A New Year's Eve you won't soon forget. All the best and a happy new year 2023 🙋‍♂️
