After more than a week duration of the race we had routine - we thought. The mood at the start today was different: something melancholy, relieved, relieved because the weather was good, but some also serious and focused, because this ultimate opportunity to improve wanted to use overall.
boomed order one last time 8:59:30 Highway to Hell from the speakers. 30 seconds later, the stage began with a novelty: 10 km neutralized departure. Over 1000 bikers crowded along narrow dirt roads into the valley. At the bottom of the climb to Passo di Bregn began as l 'Ors, which should lead us on the Brenta. We felt well-traveled, the increase at the pace and left from the first board. On the last meters, we enjoyed a fantastic view of the snow-capped peaks of the Presanella (To Harry: Do not complain if our map Solte have made a mistake ...;)
After Karsten of the increase the parameters of time, it was kept on the flatter after departure then Hennings task, the pace high. Meter by meter, the aim of the closer Transalp! Eventually we pushed the last few meters high and makes the last energy gel into us. Shortly after, we were rewarded with a panoramic view of Lake Garda. Time to enjoy was not, however, the subsequent downhill was the worst day of the test and called our attention. Many have pushed their bikes there. Who went anyway, was either a technician or excellent place upside down new paths in the valley ...
reached the bottom, it said only "track right" and at full steam towards Goal. Fortunately, Hennings legs still had enough power and heart rate monitor Karstens no batteries ... Our reward was to place 69 days our best result!
Unfortunately, this memorable event of our ground crew will not be recorded photographically, as they had not reckoned with the early finish and so was held in the target at the Coop at the box office ...
Conclusion:
Neither Highway to Hell or Road to Nowhere. Without a fall and major technical problems we have come on hard 600 km and 20,000 meters over the Alps. We have divided our forces well and the chemistry on the team also agreed. At this point again huge thank you to the ground crew and Christine Achim. You have mastered difficulties that we can only guess!
